- - tori and ani - -


name: myra ellen amos
birthdate: august 22, 1963.
birthplace: newton, north carolina

she started playing piano before the age of 5.

she was the youngest student the peabody conservatory of music had ever accepted.

when tori reached 10 years old she was kicked out of that school for playing classics the way she interpreted them.

she started playing in clubs with her father as a chaperon. surprisingly, gay bars were the first ones to open their doors to a 13-year old and her methodist minister father.

in 1983, myra ellen changed her name to tori, after a friend's boyfriend says "tori....your name's tori.." she agreed since she was looking for a stage name and thus became tori.

albums: little earthquakes, under the pink, boys for pele, from the choirgirl hotel, to venus and back, strange little girls and many singles...

my favorite tori songs: crucify, winter, china, leather, pretty good year, bells for her, cornflake girl, horses, father lucifer, hey jupiter, spark, cruel, playboy mommy, jackie's strength, 1000 oceans, bliss, strange little girl, siren

my favorite tori quotes: working on it....



name: ani (pronounced Ah-nee) difranco
birthday: september 23, 1970
birthplace: buffalo, new york

ani started playing beatles' songs in local bars at age nine

by age 15, she was writing songs of her own and hitting the regional coffeehouse and club circuit herself.

when she decided to record a cassette in 1990, ani had more than 100 original songs

20 year old ani produced her own self-titled debut album and sold it from the trunk of her hand-painted car while traveling across the college campuses of america.

instead of signing with a major record company, difranco borrowed some money and formed her own label: righteous babe records.

albums: ani difranco, not so soft, inperfectly, like i said, puddle dive, out of range, not a pretty girl, dilate, living in clip, little plastic castle, up up up up up up, to the teeth, and revealing.

my favorite ani songs: adam and eve, as is, buildings and bridges, deep dish, falling is like this, glass house gravel, make me stay, napoleon, not a pretty girl, out of habit, shy, sorry i am, superhero, two little girls (my fav), what if no ones watching, and willing to fight
