Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos on August 22, 1963) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter. She is married to English sound engineer Mark Hawley, with whom she has one child, Natashya “Tash” Lórien Hawley, born on September 5, 2000.
Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at John’s Hopkins University, the youngest person ever to have been admitted, at age five. She was expelled at age eleven for, in her own words, insisting on playing by ear and because of her interest in popular rock music.
Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and was noteworthy early in her career as one of the few alternative rock performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for her emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. Some of her charting singles include “Crucify”, “Silent All These Years”, “Cornflake Girl”, “Caught a Lite Sneeze”, “Professional Widow”, “Spark”, and “A Sorta Fairytale,” her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date.
As of 2005, Amos had sold 12 million records worldwide. Having a history of making eccentric and at times ribald comments during concerts and interviews, she has earned a reputation for being highly idiosyncratic. As a social commentator and sometimes activist, some of the topics she has been most vocal about include feminism, religion, and sexuality.

Agree with sisterthyme - she pretty much embodies the idea of empathy and emotional expression in music for me... along with maybe Bruce Springsteen on the masculine side.

There's something so highly personal about Tori's music. She's the only artist I can think of whose music I can relate to on such a deep and emotional level, that the songs have literally helped me through the years in one way or another. Even though her music has changed drastically in recent times, I still view her with absolute respect. This is a woman with true courage, intelligence, and talent.

@ soapmagic re: "Anyways, the thing that pissed me off was that some older students (spohomores, juniors, seniors) thought that rape was funny." I doubt it. They are only 14, joking is a way of people coming to terms with issues like this. That, and most of them probably don't even know who Tori Amos is. I think you should just stop being so uptight and realise that you are still in HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE and that kind of shit will always be around in that time of discovery. Get over it.
