1. Brandi Carlile was born in a poor family. Her mother was a hostess and her father a breakfast prep cook. During her childhood, her family underwent multiple evictions, leading to recurrent moves around Washington State.

2. At age four, Brandi contracted meningitis. Her illness put her into a coma, but she woke from it shortly after being admitted to the hospital.

3. Brandi’s family was inconsistently religious, with the most religious member being her father. Her family credited her awakening from her coma to God and believed that it was a miracle.
