Fiona Apple McAfee-Maggart, known professionally as Fiona Apple, is an American singer-songwriter whose emotionally rich music and contralto vocals have resonated with audiences since the mid-1990s. Born on September 13, 1977, she emerged on the music scene with her 1996 debut album "Tidal," which was critically acclaimed and certified triple platinum in the U.S. The album featured the hit single "Criminal," which not only showcased her introspective lyricism but also won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Apple's confessional songwriting style often explores themes of love, pain, and self-discovery, and her music draws from a blend of alternative rock, piano-driven ballads, and jazz influences.

Over the years, Fiona Apple has released a series of innovative and influential records, with albums such as "When The Pawn..." and "Extraordinary Machine" further establishing her as a unique force in the music world. Her 2012 album "The Idler Wheel..." was lauded for its sparse arrangements and potent lyrics, reflecting her continued artistic evolution. Apple's most recent work includes the critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning album "Fetch The Bolt Cutters" released in 2020, an expansive exploration of personal liberation and complex relationships. Despite taking lengthy breaks between albums, Fiona Apple's uncompromising artistry and deeply felt performances have solidified her status as one of the most respected singer-songwriters of her generation.
