About Tori Amos
Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos) was one of several female
singer/songwriters who combined the stark lyrical attack of
alternative rock with a distinctly '70s musical approach. Her music
falls between the orchestrated meditations of Kate Bush and the
stripped-down poetics of Joni Mitchell. In addition to reviving the
singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s, Amos revived the piano as a
rock & roll instrument. With her 1992 album, Little Earthquakes, Tori
Amos built a dedicated following that continued to expand with her
second album, Under the Pink.
Born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland, Tori Amos was the
daughter of a Methodist preacher. By the age of four, she was singing
and playing piano in the church choir; she began writing her own songs
shortly afterward. Tori Amos won a scholarship to Baltimore's Peabody
Conservatory based on her instrumental prowess. While she was studying
at Peabody, she became infatuated with rock & roll, particularly the
music of Led Zeppelin. She began writing pop ballads and performing in
local bars. Tori Amos moved to Los Angeles in her late teens to become
a pop singer.

Atlantic Records signed Tori Amos in 1987, recording an uninspired
pop-metal album called Y Kant Tori Read the following year. The record
was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press
and selling very few copies; nevertheless, she didn't lose her record
contract. By 1990, Tori Amos had adopted a new approach, singing
spare, haunting, semi-confessional piano ballads that were arranged
like Kate Bush but had the melodies and lyrical approach of Joni
Mitchell. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she
played a series of concerts in support of an EP, Me and a Gun.
The harrowing "Me and a Gun" was an autobiographical song, telling the
tale of Tori Amos' own experience with rape. It gained positive
reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the concerts sold
well. Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos' first album as a
singer/songwriter, was released in late 1991 and sold well in both the
U.S. and the U.K. In 1992, she released the Crucify EP, which featured
three covers, including Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Led
Zeppelin's "Thank You." Delivered in early 1994, Under the Pink, the
full-length follow-up to Little Earthquakes, was a bigger hit, selling
over a million copies and launching the minor hit singles "God" and
"Cornflake Girl."
Two years later, Tori Amos delivered her third album, Boys for Pele,
her most ambitious and difficult record to date. The album debuted at
number two and quickly went platinum. Tori Amos spent much of 1997
dealing with personal matters, including a miscarriage and a marriage,
and working on her fourth album, From the Choirgirl Hotel, which was
released in the spring of 1998. The two-disc To Venus and Back
followed in 1999 to coincide with a tour with Alanis Morissette. In
2001, Tori Amos returned with the covers album Strange Little Girls,
which also marked her last release for Atlantic. The next year, she
found a new label home with Epic and followed up with Scarlet's Walk
in October.
