KD Lang has won both Juno Awards and Grammy Awards. She came to prominence as a singer with Roy Orbison with whom she sang a duet “Crying”. Most recently she sang “Hallelujah”, a song written by another Canadian singer songwriter Leonard Cohen at the opening of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Lang is a vegetarian, an actress, an animal rights advocate, gay rights activist, and Tibetan human rights activist. She is openly gay. KD Lang was born in Edmonton Alberta on November 2, 1961. She has one brother and two sisters. She is the daughter of Audrey and Adam Lang, a drug store owner who left the family when she was 12.
I think the best way to get to know this amazing singer, is to listen so here is her version of one of my favourite songs: Hallelujiah.
