Biography

Stockwood's first album, 1995's "Bonavista", was a slow seller until it was rereleased in 1996 with an extra track. That song, "Jerk", became Stockwood's breakthrough hit both in Canada and internationally. Her other early singles included "She's Not In Love", "You Won't Remember This" and "Enough Love".

In 1999, Stockwood released her second album, "12 Years Old". The title track from that album was a moderate hit. She also released "You and Me" and a new radio remix for "Still" was the album's third single.
