Ani DiFranco
... One specific poet that has changed my outlook on life is Ani DiFranco. ... Ani is a bold and very outspoken musician, famous for her controversial lyrics and independent career. ... Many label Ani as a feminist, though she delves much deeper than a simple label. Music has always been within Ani DiFranco as she began writing music when she was 14 years old in Buffalo, New York. ... As she started to build a local fan-base, Ani was offered many deals from major labels and independent labels alike. ... Over the next ten years Ani did the unimaginable and formed a huge fan-base across the United States, touring year round, and staying true to her music.
