This website offers a detailed biography of Fiona Apple.  It explains her journey with music as well as personal details.  In addition, this website offers a list of some important quotes from Fiona Apple, which gives the viewer some insight into who she is as a person.  This website also gives the viewer information on all of Fiona Apple's albums. 


This website has a profile of Fiona Apple based on a reporter's experience of hanging out with her.  The author writes from his perspective, but includes direct quotes from Fiona Apple too.  He also provides a very thorough description of his day with Fiona Apple, explains her personality, her thoughts on her music, and the meanings behind many of her songs.

When I first heard Fiona Apple's song Paper Bag I was blown away by her husky voice and jazz/ alternative rock style.  I had never listened to jazz or alternative rock much but Fiona Apple is the reason I started listening to both genres more.  Besides her amazing voice, Fiona Apple is talented in many other ways.  She is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and record producer who was classically trained on piano as a child.  Unlike many music artists today, Fiona Apple does not let others influence her vision for her music, which I think, is amazing.  Too often in today's music industry, musicians solely sing the song while other people write, compose, and produce their music.  Fiona Apple is a rare singer who does all these things successfully which I think is true talent.  In addition, all Fiona Apple's songs have a story or some significant meaning behind them, which makes her music very enjoyable to listen to because it evokes many emotions within me.  The more I learned about Fiona Apple, the more fascinated I was with her.  She had many issues growing up and knowing she was able to overcome those issues and use them to fuel her music passion amazes me and I have the utmost respect for her.
