Spotlight of the Day: Chantal Kreviazuk

Lately I've been talking up a storm on Mandy Moore, so I thought it was time to focus on different artists. Some that are in the spotlight and some that are under the radar and that I believe should be noticed! So every so often I will put up a different artist or group and showcase what they are all about. If you have any ideas, feel free to shoot me a message!

First Spotlight: Chantal Kreviazuk

Born in Canada, Chantal Kreviazuk encompasses what every artist should: drive, self-confidence and a strong passion for music. A trained pianist, Kreviazuk hit it big in 1996 with hit singles "God Made Me" and "Surrounded." Since then her large repertoire of songs includes hit singles off of films and TV shows such as "Saved!," "Armageddon," "Just My Luck," "Dawson's Creek," "Uptown Girls," "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" and more. Aside from her own singing and musical talent, Kreviazuk has lend her song-writing capabilities to artists such as Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff, Marion Raven, Gwen Stefani, Mandy Moore and Cheyenne Kimball. Her list of records include "Under These Rocks and Stones," "Colour Moving and Stones," "What If It All Means Something" and "Ghost Stories."
Awards Kreviazuk has been nominated for include Best New Artist ('97), Single of the Year ('07) and Best Pop Album ('07). She also has won awards for Best Pop Album in 2000 as well as Best Female Artist in the same year.
The talented singer-songwriter not only can tickle the ivories but can also prove herself on the guitar too. I've included one of my favorite songs of hers below. Enjoy!
