Welcome back as we celebrate the life and legacy of Shania Twain, one of the most influential artists in music history and a true symbol of resilience and reinvention.

Born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, in 1965, Shania rose from a modest upbringing marked by hardship and personal tragedy to redefine country music on a global scale. Performing in bars as a teenager to support her family, she developed both grit and talent, traits that carried her through the loss of her parents and into Nashville, where her career took shape.

Her groundbreaking partnership with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange led to record-breaking albums like The Woman in Me and Come On Over, transforming her into a crossover superstar. Despite setbacks including vocal damage from Lyme disease, Shania returned stronger, cementing a legacy built on perseverance, confidence, and fearless self-expression.
