Biography:
Born in 1962, Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden worked as a salmon-gutter, a golf ball cleaner and a singing waitress before finding success as a musician.
She started working with rock 'n' roll groups in bars and clubs. After ten years of heavy drinking and with her 30th birthday approaching, she decided to take music seriously and launched her solo career with the release of Time For Mercy. Arden's hard-bitten songs, awash with images drawn from varied work placements and self-destructive relationships, promptly won her a double Juno Award in Canada. Living Under June bettered this with three such awards, and became her first international release. A single drawn from it, 'Insensitive', became a hit in both Canada and Australia, while the album's best track, 'Unloved', featured a duet with Jackson Browne.
