Myra Ellen Amos, who is popularly known as Tori Amos, is an American music composer, singer, songwriter and pianist. She is a noted musician who has delivered a number of well-known chart topping singles in a career that has spanned over three decades. Amos was a child prodigy and her talent as a pianist saw her gain entry into John Hopkins University’s famous Peabody institute on a scholarship at the age of 5. Amos was a member of the group Y Kant Tori Read but she found success when she became a solo artist and rose to prominence in the 1990s. Amos’ songs are not only sought-after for the melody but also because of the political, feminist and religious messages that they often carry.
