Shania Twain children: Meet the singers son, Eja Lange

Eilleen Regina Twain, known by her stage name as Shania Twain, is a Canadian singer and songwriter.

She has sold over 100 million records, making her the best-selling female artist in country music history and one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Shania Twain background

Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards on August 28, 1965, to Sharon (formerly Morrison) and Clarence Edwards in Windsor, Ontario. Jill and Carrie Ann, her sisters, are her siblings. When she was two years old, her parents got divorced, and her mother and daughters moved to Timmins, Ontario.

Mark was born to Sharon and Jerry Twain, an Ojibwa couple from the adjacent Mattagami First Nation. Jerry legally renamed the girls’ last names Twain after adopting them.

Darryl was Jerry’s infant nephew who Jerry and Sharon adopted when his mother passed away when Mark was a little child. Because of Twain’s relationship to Jerry, it has been falsely claimed in the media that she is Ojibwe.

Twain was keen to broaden her artistic horizons after graduating from Timmins High School in June 1983. Following Longshot’s dissolution, Twain accepted an invitation to tour with a cover band named “Flirt,” which was fronted by Diane Chase. She also studied singing with Toronto-based instructor Ian Garrett, who frequently paid her by cleaning his home.

Shania Twain pedigree and legacy

Twain’s inclusion in the 1998 debut of the VH1 Divas concert, where she performed alongside Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Carole King, and Aretha Franklin, as well as VH1’s 1999 heavily aired Behind the Music, which focused on the tragic elements of her early life as well as her physical attractiveness and Nashville’s early opposition to her bare-midriff music videos, all contributed to her acceptance in mainstream pop.

Twain and Lange provided backup vocals on Dion’s songs “If Walls Could Talk” and “Goodbye’s (The Saddest Word)” after Divas. In the 2004 drama I Heart Huckabees, Twain played herself.

Twain’s accomplishments in the music business have earned her the title of “Queen of Country Pop.” Maclean’s referred to Twain as “the reigning queen of country music” in 1998. Joe Vitagliano, a contributor to American Songwriter, listed Twain as one of the best artists of all time in.

When Twain was at her peak, she was “both a pop centrist and a country rebel, and many of the artistic advances she pioneered ended up, following a period of some resistance, as crucial to the sound of Nashville,” according to New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica.

Shania Twain discovery

After hearing Twain’s original songs and voice on her debut album, producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange offered to produce and co-write songs with her. When they first met in June 1993 at Nashville’s Fan Fair, they grew close right away.

They were married on December 28, 1993, and on August 12, 2001, they welcomed a boy named Eja (pronounced “Asia”). After having an affair with Twain’s best friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, Lange and Twain announced their separation on May 15, 2008.

On June 9, 2010, their divorce was legally finalized. A story that Twain was engaged to Marie-former Anne’s husband, Swiss Nestlé CEO Frédéric Thiébaud, surfaced on December 20, 2010.

On January 1, 2011, they exchanged vows in Rincón, Puerto Rico.
