Sia, 39, who is one of the biggest musical geniuses in Hollywood is also the brain behind many hits from Beyonce, Rihanna, and Britney Spears. The Australian singer/songwriter reveals why she hates showing her face, even when she’s nominated for huge awards like a Grammy.
The “Elastic Heart” singer wrote an op-ed for billboard in October2013 called “My Anti-Fame Manifesto (By Sia Furler)” where she addressed why she hides her face from the spotlight.
“If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous,” Sia wrote. “Imagine the stereotypical highly opinionated, completely uninformed mother-in-law character and apply it to every teenager with a computer in the entire world. Then add in all bored people, as well as people whose job it is to report on celebrities.
Then, picture that creature, that force, criticizing you for an hour straight once a day, every day, day after day.” Sia readdressed the topic after dropping the music video for “Chandelier”, which stars 12-year-old Maddie Ziegler.
“I don’t want to be famous, or recognizable,” she told Chris Connelly on Nightline in June 2014. “I don’t want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the internet. I’ve been writing pop songs for pop stars now for a couple of years and I’ve become friends with them and see what their life is like and that’s not something I want.” Sia has been on the music scene since the late 90s.
