Fiona Apple Maggart was born on 13 September 1977 in New York City. The artists are known as “Fiona Apple” in the music sector. She is the daughter of dancer and singer Diana McAfee and television and movie actor Brandon Maggart. Since her family was active in the sector, Fiona was introduced with music at an early age and she started taking piano lessons when she was 8. Her trauma because of the rape incident she had when she was 12 years old pushed her to write lyrics.
On 23 July 1996, she releases her first album “Tidal” with 10 songs and the album reached more than 3 million sales.
She is remembered as a troubled little girl because she was swearing when she was on the market and she cried when she was giving interviews. In 1997 MTV Music Awards, she was awarded The Best New Artists of The Year. Her speech when she took the award got a reaction from many people and this caused her to attract attention in the music market.
In 1999, Fiona Apple releases her second album called “When the Pawn”. The full name of the album was a 90-word poem. The album was arranged by Jon Brion. The album was released as “When the Pawn” when a long name was not permitted as an album name. This album was sold more than half a million and made Apple more famous.
In her interview in the 2000s, she had arguments with standardized and ordinary artists of that time but she still insisted on writing lyrics and her ideas.
Fiona often had femme fatale vibe in her songs. She did something extraordinary and she told about her childhood trauma and life story in “Sullen Girl” song.

The hit song of Fiona’s ‘96 Tidal album. It is believed that she wrote the lyrics in 45 minutes and convinced record company Sony that the song will be a hit.
Fiona is a native New Yorker from a Broadway actor mother and father. When her parents were separated, she lived with her mother and brother in Harlem and spend the summer in Los Angeles with her father.
When Fiona got his “The Best New Artist” award in 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, she made a cult speech starting with “This world is bullshit”. When they asked in a Vulture interview years later, “what do you think is the best adjective that defines the world now?”, she said her views are the same.
The name of the 2005 album is a cult Fiona Apple song that starts with “I am definitely not buying a new shoe”.
10/10 is the new Fiona Apple album released after 8 years. The name of the album comes from a line of Stella Gibson of BBC mini-series The Fall.
Fiona who was bored of recording for The Idler Wheel… run back home by saying “I need to go because of a need to work on a new song alone.” When she was home, she said, “shit, I will be a liar if I don’t work now.” And she wrote Hot Knife.
When King Princess, a signer from Brooklyn, and Fiona Apple re-recorded 99 “I Know” song last year, Princess released the song on Twitter with “we’re gunna serve u heartbreak”.
We don’t know who is Fiona’s first boyfriend. But what greatly shaped her first album Tidal was her break up from this boyfriend. Just like she said in Shadowboxer: “Once my lover, now my friend”
She cancelled 2012 tour because her beloved dog Janet that she adopted when she was 21 was sick and she published a health-melting letter. A short time after the letter, Janet unfortunately dies.
If you are wondering what Fiona Apple is doing during the quarantine, she was learning Indian and Spanish on Duolingo!
Fiona gave a lot of concerts at the end of 90s in Largo, Los Angeles. She even has a song with the same name.
When Fiona was asked about the musicians that inspired her, she said everything about African activist singer Miriam Makeba known as “Mama Africa” fired her.
A few years ago, they asked Fiona which songs she will never sing live: She said Never is a Promise, Jonathan and Hot Knife.
Fiona used to suffer from a major obsessive-compulsive disease. One time, she tried to correct the paper towel in the garbage at 3 am in the morning because she was unable to sleep since the garbage will not feel comfortable in that position.
Being angry is one of the most district properties of Fiona. She says people are asking “Why are you so angry?” throughout her life.
Fiona is a reckless activist. Although she is normally a homebody, she is getting out of the house for human rights, women rights and anti-Trump movements.
Fiona does not like giving interviews but when she wants, nothing can stop her! After 7-years of silence, she sends a mail to vice.com on September 2019 from her Hotmail address and suggested to give an interview.
She wrote “I got my feet on the ground and I don’t go to sleep to dream” lyrics of Sleep to Dream in her first album Tidal when she was 14 years old.
Fiona Apple released an amazing 10-word song for anti-Trump Woman March in 2017 in New York: “We don’t want your tiny hands/anywhere near our underpants.”
If you want to see how a 19-year-old Fiona with messy hair looks like when she released her first album, you must check out her performance on MTV Unplugged.
Fiona did not go to school after high-school and she never went to college. She managed to release her first album 1 year after her graduation.
One of the many Fiona Apple references in the Girls TV-show written by and starring Lena Durham is the “Valentine” song that played when Hannah learned that his ex-boyfriend and her best friend are dating.
Fiona’s ’99 10-song album When the Pawn… is an emergency kit to mend broken hearts with masterworks like Paper Bag, I Know, Fast as You Can, Love Ridden.
I don’t know if Fiona is cooking during the quarantine but she does not like cooking. Her favorite thing is the rich salad bars.
Zack Galifianakis accompanied Fiona with his epic performance in Not About Love clip. The two close friends filmed the clip in Zach’s Los Angeles home.

Roy Kelton Orbison is an American singer, songwriter and musicians born on 23 April 1936 and died in 1988 from a heart attack when he was only 52 years old. He is known for s strong, deep and smooth voice and the emotions he adds to his songs. “Oh, Pretty Woman!” would be enough to remind him to everyone. Yes, it is the famous soundtrack of the amazing “Pretty Woman” movie in 1990. As you can guess from the date of death of Roy Orbison, the song dates further back than the movie. The song was recomposed by Prince in 1990 for the movie.
Roy Orbison is the only person who toured with Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Eagles. It is even said that Elvis Presley said, “Roy is the greatest artist on earth!”
Orbison, born and raised in Texas, was uncomfortable about his look when he was young because of his thick glasses, yellow-like eye color and ears. For this reason, he started to dye his golden hair to black. Roy Orbison attracted attention with his voice and he never stopped chasing music since his father gave him a guitar as his 16th birthday gift. In his high-school years, he released his first album “Sun Records” with his Teen Kings band but these young people choose to go on their own paths.
Orbison who wrote most of his songs for his first wife Claudette Frady was in his golden age when he lost his wife in a car crash in 1966. After losing his wife following the golden period, the artists were forced to have a silent period. Roy Orbison tried to make new albums and songs in the 70s and 80s and he re-gained attention and got his former throne with “In Dreams: Greatest Hits” albums in 1987. His sudden death in 1988 after a heart attack shook the entire world and attracted attention from the press.
Roy Orbison is a legendary artist who made songs that will never go old with his beautiful voice. He has beautiful songs but my two favorites are “Unchained Melody” and “Only the Lonely”.
