Sarah Mclachlan: Nova Scotia
built 608 days ago
Sarah McLachlan was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on January 28, 1968 where she took vocal training in addition to classical piano and guitar lessons as a child. After a year of art training at the Nova Scotia School of Design, while fronting a new wave band, October Game, Nettwerk Records approached her for a solo deal. She initially turned it down in favor of continued studies, but took them up on the offer in late 1987 and relocated to Vancouver. On the strength of her debut, 1988's Touch, she was signed to Arista for international distribution. The album eventually reached gold status in Canada and was reissued worldwide in 1989. In 1991, she followed up with Solace, an impressive collection that showed a great leap in songcraft and built a strong cult following in the U.S.

Sarah McLachlan was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1968. She is the adopted youngest child of expatriate Americans Jack and Dorice McLachlan. According to an October 29, 1997 article in People, her parents convinced her to enroll in the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1986, where she was interested in jewelry design. That same year, an acquaintance pointed out that Mclachlan looked a lot like her friend Judy Kaines. Sarah got a shock when she and Kaines found out that Kaines was actually Sarah's biological mother; now, the two women see each other at Christmas and throughout the year.
