Alannah Myles is a Canadian singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene in the late 1980s with a sound that blended rock with a bluesy undercurrent. Born on December 25, 1958, in Toronto, Ontario, Myles grew up with a passion for music that was influenced by her father's love for American blues and her mother's singing talent. She gained widespread recognition with her self-titled debut album, released in 1989, which contained the powerhouse hit "Black Velvet." The track not only became a number-one hit in multiple countries but also earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance.

Throughout her career, Alannah Myles has been known for her rich, sultry voice and dynamic stage presence. Her follow-up albums, including "Rockinghorse," continued to demonstrate her knack for crafting emotionally charged songs that straddle the line between rock and blues. Over the years, Myles has remained active in the music industry, continuing to explore and redefine her sound. Her dedication to her craft and ability to connect with audiences around the world have earned her a multitude of fans. This is evidenced by her consistent releases, including the reflective "85 BPM," a reimagined version of her classic hit titled "Black Velvet (Remake 2020)," and evocative tracks like "I Believe" and "Can't Stand the Rain," which showcase her versatility and enduring appeal.
