biography

Feist has her musical roots in a school punk rock band in which she sang during her school days. The group called Placebo (not to be confused with the British band of the same name ) won a local talent competition and was allowed to appear as the opening act for the Ramones at the Infest Festival 1993.

In 2000 Feist moved in with the singer Peaches and appeared on her album The Teaches of Peaches as a guest singer under the name Bitch Lap Lap .

In 2002 Feist released together with Broken Social Scene the album You Forgot It in People , which won the 2003 Juno Award for "Best Alternative Album of the Year".

The solo album Let It Die , released in 2004 by Universal , won two Juno Awards and also hit the UK single charts with the songs Inside and Out and One Evening .

With Mocky , also from Canada and longtime friend of Feist, she recorded the song Fighting Away the Tears , which appeared on Mocky's album Navy Brown Blues . Feist also made a guest appearance with the Kings of Convenience and contributed the vocals for Know-how and The Build Up .

On the 2006 album Eurolove by the group Hypnolove , Get to Know the Girl is another song sung and written by Feist (under the pseudonym Bitch Lap Lap ).

In autumn 2007, her song 1234 was used in the commercial for the Apple iPod nano . Thanks to this advertising, the single managed to reach number 83 in the German single charts just two months after it was released. The song Mushaboom was previously featured in a Lacoste commercial .

In 2007 Feist performed at the SWR3 New Pop Festival in Baden-Baden . A cover version of their song The Limit to Your Love from the album The Reminder gave British dubstep musician James Blake his breakthrough. She appeared as an artist at the 2008 Grammy Awards .
