Ani DiFranco

Buffalo, New York, based folk singer-songwriter, Righteous Babe-founder, and paragon of DIY ethos.

Biography

A folkie in punk's clothing, Ani DiFranco battled successfully against the Goliath of corporate rock to emerge as one of the most influential and inspirational cult heroines of the 1990s. A resolute follower of D.I.Y. ethos, DiFranco released her records through her own indie label, Righteous Babe, slowly but steadily building a devout grassroots following on the strength of a relentless tour schedule. An ardent feminist and an open bisexual, her songs tackled issues like rape, abortion, and sexism with insight and compassion; the music's empowering attitude and anger is tempered by the poignant candor of singer/songwriter confessionalism. ~ Jason Ankeny
