Tori Amos

American
1963 - Present
Tori Amos is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. She is a classically trained musician with a mezzo-soprano vocal range.

Amos was the lead singer of the short-lived 1980s pop-rock group Y Kant Tori Read before achieving her breakthrough as a solo artist in the early 1990s. Her songs focus on a broad range of topics, including sexuality, feminism, politics, and religion.

4.5/5

Tori Amos: Piece by Piece is an autobiographical book co-written by singer/songwriter Tori Amos and rock music journalist Ann Powers, published by Broadway on February 8, 2005. Rather than a conventional star memoir, it charts Amos's creative process from raw ideas to finished recordings and live performance, drawing on her career from the critically acclaimed 1992 debut Little Earthquakes through Scarlet's Walk, and is accompanied by original photography by Loren Haynes. Critics noted it could offer interest to "artists of all stripes," while Blender called it "more like a soul-map of Amos's stride from pop tart to poet provocateur." This review is based on published sources and the book's documented contents, not hands-on use.
