[hide]  *1 Career  ==Career[edit] == Stockwood began her music career in 1990 performing on folk nights at a local pub in St. John's, where she grew up. By year's end she was playing weekend gigs, while retaining her day job. In 1992, she moved to Toronto in search of a record deal. There, she talked her way into the office of EMI president Mike McCarthy, chatted for an hour, then sang two songs for him right there at his piano. She left that day with a publishing deal and had a full-fledged recording contract within five months.[5] [4]

Her first album, Bonavista, was released in 1995. With something of a country-rock feeling, the album was named after the town in Newfoundland where both her grandmother and her mother were born. Among the musicians who played on the album and co-wrote songs with her were Randy Bachman and Matthew Sweet.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-iTunes_5-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5]  The album, however, did not initially receive a lot of attention; its first two singles didn't catch on and sales were slow. After a record company executive heard Stockwood rehearsing a catchy, pop-rock-oriented song for an impending concert, the label decided to release Bonavista internationally in 1996 with two additional songs. One of them, "Jerk," became an international hit, and eventually a top 10 hit on the Canadian pop chart.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-iTunes_5-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CanadianBands_3-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[3]  The repackaged album earned Stockwood a 1996 Juno Award nomination for best new artist and a SOCAN Award for pop song of the year ("Enough Love").<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TCE_1-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]

The title track was a last-minute addition to the album, having been written with Abenna Frempong and Peter Vettese while the three of them were attending a songwriters' camp in Devon, England sponsored by EMI.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-iTunes_5-3" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5]  The song became a Top 40 hit<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CanadianBands_3-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[3]  and was named single of the year at the 2000 East Coast Music Awards.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TCE_1-3" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]
