Feist launched her solo music career in 1999 with the release ''Monarch''. Her subsequent studio albums, ''Let It Die'', released in 2004, and ''The Reminder'', released in 2007, were critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over 2.5 million copies. ''The Reminder'' earned Feist four Grammy nominations, including a nomination for Best New Artist. She was the top winner at the 2008 Juno Awards in Calgary with five awards, including Songwriter of the Year, Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Album of the Year and Single of the Year. Her fourth studio album, ''Metals'', was released on 30 September 2011. In 2012, Feist collaborated on a split EP with metal group Mastodon, releasing an interactive music video in the process.
Feist received three Juno awards at the 2012 ceremony: Artist of the Year, Adult Alternative Album of the Year for ''Metals'', and Music DVD of the Year for her documentary ''Look at What the Light Did Now''.
==Early life==
Leslie Feist was born on 13 February 1976 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. Her parents are both artists. Her father, Harold Feist, is an American-Canadian abstract expressionist painter who taught at both the Alberta College of Art and Design and Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. Her mother, Lyn Feist, was a student of ceramics from Saskatchewan. After their first child, Ben, was born, the family moved to Sackville.
Feist's parents divorced soon after she was born and Ben, Feist and their mother moved to Regina, Saskatchewan where they lived with her grandparents. They later moved to Calgary, Alberta where she attended Bishop Carroll High School as well as Alternative High School. She aspired to be a writer, and spent much of her youth singing in choirs. At the age of twelve, Feist performed as one of 1,000 dancers in the opening ceremonies of the Calgary Winter Olympics, which she cites as inspiration for the video "1234."
Because her father is American, Feist has dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship,〔()〕 joking later that she was given U.S. citizenship as part of a deal with Apple.〔In an appearance on ''The Colbert Report'' on 28 April 2008, Feist joked that she is a dual citizen and holds a U.S. passport, having been offered American citizenship "as part of the iPod deal."〕
