Natalie Merchant

Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, USA) is a versatile professional musician. She co-founded 10,000 Maniacs in 1981 and began her solo career in 1993.

Career

Merchant co-founded and fronted the successful band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981 (see 1981 in music), but left the band in 1993 (see 1993 in music) commencing a successful solo career. (She has been referred to as "the Poet Laureate of pop", or "the Emily Dickinson of pop".) Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: "Carnival", "Jealousy", and "Wonder". In 1997, she first performed "Planctus," a song for voice and piano written for her by Philip Glass. In 1998, Merchant released Ophelia, supported by co-headlining Lilith Fair and the following year released Live in Concert.
