From Wiki:


k.d. lang OC (born Kathryn Dawn Lang on November 2, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian pop and country singer-songwriter. The artist gives her name in lowercase letters, with the given names contracted to initials and no space between these initials.[1][2]

Lang has won both Juno Awards and Grammy Awards for her musical performances. She is also known for being a vegetarian and an animal rights advocate.

Born to parents Audrey and Fred Lang, k.d. moved with her family to Consort, Alberta, when k.d. was nine months old, and there she grew up with her two sisters and one brother on the Canadian prairie.[citation needed]

Upon completion of secondary school, k.d. attended Red Deer College, where she became fascinated with the life and music of Patsy Cline and ultimately determined to pursue a career as a professional singer.[3] She formed a Patsy Cline tribute band called the Reclines in 1983, and they recorded a debut album, Friday Dance Promenade. Also in 1983, lang presented a performance art piece, a seven-hour re-enactment of the transplantation of an artificial heart for Barney Clark, a retired American dentist.[4][5] A Truly Western Experience was released in 1984 and received strong reviews and led to national attention in Canada.

Singing at country and western venues in Canada, lang made several recordings that received very positive reviews and earned a 1985 Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist. She accepted the award wearing a wedding dress and made numerous tongue-in-cheek promises about what she would and would not do in the future, thus fulfilling the title of "Most Promising." She has won eight Juno Awards.

In 1986, she signed a contract with an American record producer in Nashville, Tennessee, and received critical acclaim for her 1987 album, Angel with a Lariat, which was produced by Dave Edmunds.

She first came to the attention of the US audiences when she toured with Roy Orbison as one of three female backup singers. Her career received a huge boost when Orbison chose her to record a duet of his standard, "Crying", a collaboration that won them the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1989. The song was first used in the Jon Cryer film Hiding Out released in 1987.

1988 marked the release of Shadowland, an album of torch country produced by Owen Bradley. That year she also performed "Turn Me Round" at the closing ceremonies of the XV Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, and later that same year she would sing background vocals with Jennifer Warnes and Bonnie Raitt for Orbison's acclaimed television special, Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night. She also appeared in Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special, performing "Jingle Bell Rock."
