Sia is simply incredible, like no one I’ve ever met. I first became familiar with her when she sent me her demo for [my 2013 single, which she co-wrote] “Loved Me Back to Life.” My son RC — he’s much cooler than I am and teaches me what music I should listen to — couldn’t believe that Sia wrote a song for me. He’s a huge fan, too. I not only fell in love with the song and the words, but also with Sia’s absolutely beautiful voice: It’s so powerful — like nothing I had ever heard. I listened to the demo 20 times in a row that day because her words spoke to me and I just couldn’t get enough of her voice.

One of the first times I performed “Loved Me Back to Life” live, we were at The EllenDeGeneres Show. I invited Sia, and that day backstage was the first time we met. She is so genuine, so warm, so funny — I was the one who asked to take a photo withher.

Soon after, RC played “Chandelier” for me, and I remember thinking, “She’s done it again!” It was the perfect song for the perfect woman. She’s an artist with a clear vision — for her songs, her videos, her performances. This industry can break you; it’s tough. But Sia has managed to carve out her own path, on her own terms and in her own time. I’m mesmerized by her confidence, and I constantly look forward to what she’ll do next. She’s the true definition of an artist, one I so deeply admire. I’m one of her biggest fans, and it has been such a joy and honor to get to know her.
