The mane of the person on the photo is Sia Furler. She is a famous singer, film director and songwriter. Sia is celebrated for her songs, written in special style, which mixes jazz, folk, soul and pop. Her composition “Chandelier” was nominated for four Grammy awards. The song “Cheap Thrills” received a Grammy nomination. Furler also wrote many soundtracks for different films such as “Hunger games” («Elastic Heart») and "The Great Gatsby" («Kill and Run»). Sia is a songwriter, the most famous song she wrote for another performer is “Diamonds” (for singer Rihanna), the world famous song. Her songs motivate people to become confident in their abilities and to improve their lives.

Though Sia is famous, she doesn’t want to be a celebrity. According to the quote, I wrote in the beginning of the essay, she really wants to save her private space. It explains her bright and unusual style. When she is in the public eye, she always closes her face with a hat or hairdo or with another accessory.

Sia is also very charitable. She gives a lot of money to charity and helps people, who have not got enough money. This person is generous, she says, “I will never spend as much as I already have or how much I will earn.” Sia adopted two 18-year-old boys last year. She thought that it was not right that boys were alone, so she found them and gave them a real home. Sia also takes care of animals, about any of them, which are in danger.

I guess Sia is a good role model. First of all, she is very talented, so it gives motivation to people to develop their talent. Sia is a bright person with a bright lifestyle. I think it inspires people to do what they really want to do. Sia sets a good example helping people and animals. The last but not the least is that she is very tolerant and does a lot of things to protect human rights. As for me, Sia is not like most of people in Hollywood. Despite a serious disease she suffers from, the singer remains a good woman and a very interesting personality.
