Highlights
Singer-songwriter Tori Amos grew up in Maryland and attended the prestigious Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Her alternative tunes are known for their emotional, haunting vibe.
Amos gained some mainstream recognition after the release of "Little Earthquakes" in 1992. She also did a couple popular covers, including Led Zeppelin's "Thank You."
Her first big hit, however, came with the release of "Under the Pink," which sold more than a million copies. For her most recent release, "American Doll Posse," always-experimental Amos takes on five different female characters.
