Fiona is a native New Yorker, and she comes from an artistic family. Her father is an actor and her mother is a real renaissance woman-- singer, dancer, nutritionist, fitness trainer, and cook. Fiona came to LA to spend time with her father, complete her high school education through independent study, and to do a demo.
While Fiona Apple's lyrics may be interpreted in many ways, the overriding message of her debut album is that life is the sum of experience-- painful and joyous, tangible and emotional, positive and negative. "My album is called Tidal partly because all this has hit me like a tidal wave, but also because 'tidal' refers to ebbing and flowing, and that's really what life is, a constant ebb and flow." For Fiona Apple, the tide is high-- and the time is now.
