was the multi-Platinum musical heroine she is now, she was a young Peabody Conservatory student with a penchant for rebellion. Amos arrived at the renowned Baltimore institute at the age of five on a full-ride scholarship—a scholarship that was rescinded six years later when she continually refused to learn sheet music or adhere to her instructors’ preferred genres. “My gift was composing music, and they’d have a completely different way of thinking,” Amos said in 1998.
