Who's Next?DelegateListener('yuimenuitem', 'hd', 'click', YAHOO.Rating affects your music played in LAUNCHcast and Music Videos.Her music falls between the orchestrated meditations ...She is married to English sound engineer Mark Hawley.Hawley, born on September 5, 2000.She is known for emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion and personal tragedy.Having a history of making eccentric and at times ribald comments during concerts and interviews, she has earned a reputation for being highly idiosyncratic.Amos was the third child of Rev.Her parents were of Cherokee, Scottish, and Irish ancestry.When Amos was 2, her family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she began to play the piano.By age five, she had begun composing instrumental pieces on piano and at nine started to add lyrics to her pieces.In 1968, while living in Rockville, Maryland, she won a full scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of Music.Amos has asserted that she lost the scholarship because of her interest in rock and popular music coupled with her dislike for reading from sheet music.Two years later, she began studying at Montgomery College and began playing at piano bars, chaperoned by her father, who was sending tapes of songs she had written to record companies.By the time she reached high school, she was well known in the Washington, D."Baltimore" with her brother Mike Amos for a competition involving the Baltimore Orioles.However, at that time, Amos didn't even know who Bush was.At age 21, Amos moved to Los Angeles to pursue her music career after several years performing on the piano bar circuit of the East Coast.In 1985, after playing in a bar one night, she gave a ride home to a regular customer at the establishment who sexually assaulted her, an experience that would later be revisited in her song "Me and a Gun".She also met Steve Caton, who would later play guitars on her albums through 1999's To Venus and Back.In 1987 she appeared in the courtroom soap opera Trial by Jury as Carrie Hadler, a woman accused of killing her married lover with sex.Amos dejected and humiliated.She also recorded a song called "Distant Storm" for the film China O'Brien; in the credits, the song is attributed to a band called "Tess Makes Good" with "additional vocals by Ellen Amos."Atlantic Records, who in 1989 wanted a new record by March 1990.Extensively reworked and expanded with the help of Steve Caton, Eric Rosse, Will MacGregor, Carlo Nuccio, and Dan Nebenzal, the record ended up full of raw, emotive songs recounting her religious upbringing, sexual awakening, struggle to establish her identity, and her sexual assault.The Atlantic executives changed their minds upon hearing the edited version, with the plan to promote her as an heir to Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro, or alternatively as a female version of Elton John.During this period, Amos befriended author Neil Gaiman, who became a fan after she referenced him in the song "Tear In Your Hand" and also in print interviews.His 2006 tribute album from Ferret Records has an Amos lyric for its title (Where's Neil When You Need Him?Amos also wrote the introduction to the trade paperback collection of Gaiman's Death: The High Cost of Living.Israel), Amos traveled to New Mexico with personal and professional partner Eric Rosse in 1993 to write and largely record her second solo record, Under the Pink.Alice Walker, and the Russian princess Anastasia Romanov.Musically, Amos drew from the style of classical composers she had studied during her childhood, and put more focus on her solo piano rather than band instrumentation.Amos used a prepared upright piano for "Bells for Her" on the album; the song was also played on a prepared piano for the second half of her tour in support of Under the Pink.US connecting callers with their local rape crisis center.In 1995, Amos contributed to the Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium with the song "Down by the Seaside", a duet with Robert Plant.The idea for Amos' third solo album first originated in August 1994 during a break from the tour to promote the Under the Pink album.Amos took advantage of the church recording setting to create an album ripe with baroque influences, lending it a darker sound and style.She added harpsichord, harmonium, and clavichord to her keyboard repertoire, and also included such anomalies as a gospel choir, bagpipes, church bells, and drum programming.The erratic lyrical content of its songs seemed indecipherable to some fans, and the instrumentation kept it away from mainstream audiences.Her first signing (which she executively produced) was the band Pet, headed by lead singer Lisa Papineau."Lil' Boots," which was also featured on the soundtrack for The Crow: City of Angels.During this concert Amos performed her song "Muhammad My Friend" with her friend Maynard James Keenan of the band Tool.It was intended for the soundtrack to the film Don Juan DeMarco, but was not used and has never been released.During the tour to promote Boys for Pele, Amos and her sound engineer Mark Hawley began a relationship and Amos later discovered she was pregnant.She planned to take 1997 away from the limelight and the recording studio in order to look after her unborn child, however, Amos miscarried two days before Christmas 1996 at three months, plunging her into new emotional depths.During her recovery period at her second home in Florida, Amos unexpectedly began writing new songs.Martian Engineering Studios, and Amos spent the latter part of 1997 recording her new songs there.Amos herself lists the album as her favorite.Many referred to Amos as the "opening act" for Morissette because she always performed first; however, this was due only to the logistics of setting up a grand piano for performance.After releasing two albums and embarking on two tours in rapid succession, Amos took a break from both touring and recording in 2000 to devote to another pregnancy.After suffering a total of three miscarriages, Amos became a mother, giving birth to her daughter, Natashya, in September of 2000.After the double album To Venus and Back, the covers album would satisfy her contractual obligations with Atlantic before a hits package release.In November 2003 Tales of a Librarian was released, which Amos described as a "sonic autobiography", a title derived from her dislike of the term "greatest hits".The songs were arranged in accordance with the Dewey Decimal System, extending the librarian theme of the album.Matt Chamberlain and Jon Evans on the successful Scarlet's Walk album and tour, Amos' next album project explored the tightness of this band sound.Following the death of her brother in November 2004, Amos wrote the closing track, "Toast", for last minute inclusion on the album, also adding the line "take this message to Michael" to the backing vocals on the title track.Amos received unsettling news in 2003 when Epic Records President Polly Anthony resigned.Anthony had been one of the main reasons Amos signed with the label.Amos' general disenchantment with the commercial side of the music industry was showcased when she did not bother performing the first single from the album in many cities during the accompanying tour; it is usually expected by record companies of a modern musician that they perform their singles or hits regularly.Ann Powers entitled Piece by Piece in February 2005.Amos announced in late 2005 that she would be issuing a series of live "official bootlegs", all recorded during her "Original Sinsuality" tour.The Beekeeper, which had featured elaborate packaging placing the various songs into different metaphorical gardens.During 2005, Amos negotiated a contract with the Warner Bros.Amos performing as Pip in concert on July 13, 2007 on her American Doll Posse tour.In several interviews while promoting A Piano, Amos revealed details about her ninth studio album.One of Amos' best selling early releases was a five track E."Crucify" which was sold at regular album prices.In particular her cover of the Nirvana song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from the Crucify E.In 1994, recorded the Anita Ward's disco classic "Ring My Bell" from a collection organized by New Musical Express.Toys, Higher Learning, Mission: Impossible II, Great Expectations and Mona Lisa Smile) as well as to compilation projects and projects by other artists (including Al Stewart, Tom Jones, and Sandra Bernhard).March 17, 1998

that isn't necessarily who I am completely," she says "I have made certain choices and that doesn't mean that those choices are the whole story."In some ways, Amos's entire musical career has been leading up to this moment.And together, they make the complete woman.""You'll get to know the girls through the photographs, through the songs, and there needs to be writings, Amos says.The different psyches will also make themselves known during Amos's tour, which starts in May and runs through December."Tori can do covers, she is known to do covers," Amos jokes, referencing her acclaimed 2001 album of covers, "Strange Little Girls."And I'm coming after them."But they aren't the only ones who need to heed the clarion call."American Doll Posse" features Tori Amos in a way we've never heard her: as five distinct characters who combine to make a complete woman.Normally, they work within a frame.What I began to notice with this, which really got me spinning, was that there were extremes."Those extremes were different voices, different archetypes, all of which were ready to emerge distinct and intact.Christian time," Amos says."Women are divided into the mother and the whore.It's very black and white.As a piano player, I understand black and white very well.And it's just not acceptable outside of a keyboard."So Amos looked to a time when the feminine, in all its different facets, was considered divine.Isabel (HisTORIcal), a photographer, is a reflection of Artemis and is the most outwardly political of the bunch.She is trying to figure out what she believes in and she is dealing with having been disappointed in her life," Amos says.Through songs like the shimmery pop of "Secret Spell" or the wonderfully wicked "You Can Bring Your Dog" or the delightfully retro "Programmable Soda," "Santa is somebody who's a girl's girl," Amos says.But she won't accept that there is something perverted about being very sensual and she won't drink shame with her sensuality."Mick Ronson guitar inspired "Digital Ghost.""It will look different.Even for Amos, who recorded the album in her own Martian Engineering Studios in Cornwall, Englandthere was something to be learned from these women about being one's authentic self."In some ways, Amos's entire musical career has been leading up to this moment.On many of her past albums, she tackled a single theme.Through the coming months, each woman will have her own blog and her personality will develop as it reveals itself."Their relationships get more complicated.This way they learn and they grow in front of everybody's eyes."Each night, Pip, Clyde, Isabel or Santa will open the show before ceding the stage to Tori."They will have their own wardrobes, of course, they are their own women.Because the girls are generous, Tori will do songs that represent her career, as well as sing some songs by the characters who aren't physically present that night."Tori can do covers, she is known to do covers," Amos jokes, referencing her acclaimed 2001 album of covers, "Strange Little Girls."And Amos is inviting them all out to play and reclaim what is rightfully theirs.And I'm coming after them.""The American women themselves, we've got to put a fire under them.They need to understand I'm at their door and I want them to know it.I'm coming after their daughters and I'm convinced that not all of them are solely obsessed with the circumference of their naval."So come with a set of open ears and minds, and bring your whole, true self with you.Tori, Pip, Isabel, Clyde and Santa have something you need to hear.Amos won a scholarship to Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory based on her instrumental prowess.She began writing pop ballads and performing in local bars.The album debuted at number two and quickly went platinum.In 2001, Amos returned with the covers album Strange Little Girls, which also marked her last release for Atlantic.Some of the information on this page is provided by All Music Guide and does not necessarily reflect the views of Ticketmaster.By continuing past this page, you agree to abide by these terms.Background color has been set to '+this.Add a link to your "Tori Amos" fan site on VH1.Get FREE UPDATES for Tori Amos!Box Set: Tori AmosShe talks about her songs and albums, watch exclusive interviews and lots of videos.Elton did to her left hand.Box Set: Tori AmosShe talks about her songs and albums, watch exclusive interviews and lots of videos.Tori Amos has spoken out on the Britney
