A legendary American singer-songwriter, Fiona Apple holds a special place in many of our hearts. She was a teen star, releasing her first album, Tidal, at the age of just 17. From there, Apple only got more awards, more critical acclaim, and more famous. Though her success came at a young age, Apple began writing songs when she was just eight years old, so 17 doesn't seem so crazy when you put it into perspective.
Sadly, Apple was raped as a 12-year-old child outside her home in Harlem, New York City. This sparked a series of reactions to the trauma, including an eating disorder. Due to panic attacks she suffered after the event, Apple relocated to Los Angeles to live with her father. Though many insist her music reveals her pain, Apple says she has never included it in any of her music.
