Daughter of former singer Diane McAfee and actor Brandon Maggart. Fiona began psychotherapy at age 11 in Manhattan, because her teachers believed her to be anit-social, at age 12 she was sexually assualted. She crafted a demo tape while in Los Angeles finishing High School. When she returned home to New York for Christmas one of the tapes found its way to a friend who supervised the care of a music industry executive's children. The executive played the demo's for producer, Andrew Salter who immediately requested a meeting with Fiona. Personal quotes include: "My [first album] was called "Tidal" partly because all this hit me like a tidal wave. But also because 'tida' refers to ebbing and flowing, and that's really what life is - a constant ebb and flow." |
