Ani DiFranco
Major Works
Biography Ani DiFranco was born in Buffalo, New York to mother Elizabeth and father Dante. She started playing Beatles covers at local bars and busking with her guitar teacher, Michael Meldrum at the age of nine. In 1989, DiFranco started her own record company, Righteous Records (renamed Righteous Babe Records in 1994), with just $50. DiFranco's guitar playing is often characterized by a signature staccato style, rapid fingerpicking and many alternate tunings. She delivers many of her lines in a speaking style notable for its rhythmic variation. Her lyrics, which often include alliteration, metaphor, word play and a more or less gentle irony, have also received praise for their sophistication. Although much of DiFranco's material is autobiographical, it is often also strongly political. Many of her songs are concerned with contemporary social issues such as racism, sexism, abuse, homophobia, reproductive rights, poverty, and war.
