Tori Amos(I)
- Composer
- Actress

At age one, Tori and her family moved to Baltimore, where she spent
much of her childhood. She started playing piano at a very early age (2
1/2). At the age of five, she was accepted to the Peabody Conservatory
of Music (Arts school); she was the youngest person to be accepted to
the school. However, she soon discovered that there were conflicts
between her wants and those of the school. At age 11, she was kicked
out thereby making her the youngest person to be expelled from the
school. She eventually ended up in a rock band called Y Kan't Tori
Read, who released an album in 1988. The album was a severe flop, and
the band broke up shortly thereafter. Tori has been doing her solo gig
ever since, known for her strong voice, eccentric lyrics, and (of
course) her exceptional skill on the piano.
