  <about><![CDATA[Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter. She is married to English sound engineer Mark Hawley. Together they have one child, Natashya &quot;Tash&quot; Lórien Hawley, born on September 5, 2000.

Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and was noteworthy early in her career as one of the few pop performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. Some of her charting singles include &quot;Crucify&quot;, &quot;Silent All These Years&quot;, &quot;Cornflake Girl&quot;, &quot;Caught a Lite Sneeze&quot;, &quot;Professional Widow&quot;, &quot;Spark&quot;, and &quot;A Sorta Fairytale&quot;.

Amos had sold 12 million records worldwide as of 2005 and has also enjoyed a large cult following. Having a history of making eccentric and at times ribald comments during concerts and interviews, she has earned a reputation for being highly idiosyncratic. As a social commentator and sometimes activist, some of the topics she has been most vocal about include feminism, religion, and sexuality.
