Early Life

Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards on August 28, 1965, in Windsor, Ontario. Her parents, Sharon and Clarence Edwards, divorced when she was two years old, and her mother moved her three daughters to Timmins, Ontario. Sharon married Jerry Twain, who adopted the girls and legally changed their surname to his. Twain has expressed that she had a difficult childhood, with their parents earning little money and food scarcity in their house.  Her mother and stepfather's relationship was strained from the beginning, and Shania often witnessed violence between them. In 1979, her mother drove the girls 420 miles to a Toronto homeless shelter for assistance. Sharon returned to Jerry with the children in 1981. Shania started singing at bars at the age of 8 to try and help pay her family's bills. Twain wrote her first songs at the age of 10: "Is Love a Rose" and "Just Like the Storybooks." At age 13, Twain was invited to perform on the CBC's "Tommy Hunter Show." When she attended high school, she was a singer for a local cover band called Longshot. She graduated from Timmins High in 1983.

Early Career

After Longshot broke up, Twain performed in a cover band called Flirt and toured all over Ontario with them while taking singing lessons from Toronto voice coach Ian Garrett. She was noticed by Toronto DJ Stan Campbell, who took her to Nashville to record demos, which she had difficulty financing. She became friends with regional country singer Mary Bailey, who was instantly a fan of Shania's voice. Twain moved into Bailey's house under a recording contract practiced her music for hours a day, and continued to record demos. She met John Kim Bell, who had close contacts with the Canadian Country Music Association. The two secretly began dating. Her first big break came when Bell staged a fundraiser in 1987 at which Shania performed. On November 1, 1987, Shania's mother and stepfather tragically died in a car accident. She put her singing career on hold and moved back home to take care of her younger siblings. She performed at the Deerhurst Resort in Ontario to support them. Several years later, after her siblings moved out on their own, she assembled a demo tape and caught the attention of several labels, including Mercury Nashville Records. They signed her within a few months.

Ultimately, Shania Twain's financial journey is a testament to their success.
