Fiona Apple Maggart was born September 13, 1977, in New York City, and is the offspring of actors Brandon Maggart and Diane McAfee. Fiona and her older sister Amber had to endure the divorce of their parents, who split up when Fiona was four years old. The Maggart daughters have more stepsiblings, which their parents had from previous relationships.

Raised by her mother in New York, Fiona began taking piano lessons at the age of eight. Preferring to improvise (something that would explain Fiona's off-beat statements), a musically inclined Fiona dropped her lessons and taught herself the keyboard.

Fiona's sometimes disturbing image manifested itself at an early age, when an 11-year old Fiona confessed to a friend that she was going to kill herself and her sister. This prompted several therapy sessions which ultimately led her to believe that must actually be something wrong with her if she required therapy. |Full Bio|
