"In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe."
-Tori Amos

Tori Amos almost falls into a class of music of her own. As introspective as Alanis Morissette, but less folksy than Jewel. As edgy and original as Björk, but not as grungy as P.J. Harvey or Fiona Apple. With a tremendous fan following hailing her for her strong and erotic style, Tori Amos has secured her place in contemporary music; and has dared to go where no other has gone with a piano.
Myra Ellen Amos was born August 22, 1963, in Newton, North Carolina, to a Methodist minister father and a homemaker mother. The youngest of three children, Ellen (as Tori was referred to before an acquaintance said she looked more like a "Tori" while watching her perform) moved to a Maryland suburb at the age of one, when her family decided to relocate.
It was hard to ignore the fact that young Tori had an innate talent for playing the piano. By the time she was four, she was composing music on the piano, and two years later she was studying classical piano at the Peabody Institute at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University, becoming the youngest student to attend the school.
Her stay at the prestigious school did not last long after she performed her own compositions to the faculty (apparently ad-libbing John Lennon and The Doors tunes) that did not meet the conservative standard they were accustomed to. Foreshadowing her non-conformist style, Tori was expelled from the school.

The 13-year-old took her talents to Washington DC and Baltimore clubs, this time performing jazz on the keyboard, while in high school. Along with her older brother, Tori penned a song called "Baltimore", in honor of the Orioles who were heading to the World Series during that time. |
