Widely considered a feminist icon, Grammy winner Ani DiFranco is the mother of the DIY movement, being one of the first artists to create her own record label in 1990.
While she has been known as the “Little Folksinger,” her music has embraced punk, funk, hip hop, jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds.

Earlier this year Difranco released her memoir No Walls and the Recurring Dream. The songwriter has previously released several volumes of poetry.
With a career that has delivered over 20 albums, and numerous live recordings, Difranco is a musician who has had a prolific creative output.
