Alanis Morissette Biography

Alanis has two siblings, Wade Imre Morissette who is her twin brother and Chad Morissette, the oldest. Just like his twin, Wade is also a musician while Chad is an entrepreneur.

Because her parents worked with the military, Alanis spent her childhood travelling to different places including West Germany where she lived for three years. By the time she was 6, her family had moved back to Ottawa and that was when she began learning to play the piano. A year later, in 1981, she took dance classes.

Raised a Catholic, she got her elementary education from the Holy Family Catholic School and then she moved to Immaculata High School. Next, she went to Glebe Collegiate Institute in Ottawa where she completed her high school.

Even before she began her musical career, she appeared on the Canadian television program You Can’t Do That on Television before she went to junior high school.

In 1987, Alanis released her first demo, Fate Stay with Me followed by her debut album, Alanis in 1991. Her next album, Now Is the Time came in 1992, followed by Jagged Little Pill in 1995.

Who Is Her Husband?

Morissette has been in a number of relationships in the past before she finally met and got married to her husband, Mario Treadway, who is also known by his stage name Souleye.

Many believe it was for Coulier that she sang You Oughta Know which became the rage song for all broken women. More than 20 years since the song was released, the legend still holds on even though the singer has maintained her silence.

The next person she got into a relationship with was yet another actor and comedian, whom she met in 2002. In 2004, the two announced their engagement which was then called off three years later. It was following her grief over the relationship that she released her seventh studio album, Flavors of Entanglement in 2007 with the hit Torch specifically for the actor.
