Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn Liddell (born September 22, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter, poet, author, and violinist. Autumn's musical style is described by her as "Fairy Pop", "Fantasy Rock" or "Victoriandustrial". It is influenced by glam rock and from plays, novels, and history, particularly the Victorian era. Performing with her all-female backup dancers The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.

Growing up in Malibu, California, Autumn began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted in 1997 with her classical album ''On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo'', followed by the release in 2003 of her album ''Enchant''.

Autumn appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 ''America's Sweetheart'' tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album ''Opheliac'' with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released ''Laced/Unlaced''; the re-release of ''On a Day...'' appeared as ''Laced'' with songs on the electric violin as ''Unlaced''. She later left Trisol to join New York based The End Records in 2009 and release ''Opheliac'' in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. In 2012, she released the album ''Fight Like a Girl''. She played the role of the Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film ''The Devil's Carnival'', as well as its 2015 sequel, ''Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival''. Provided by Wikipedia
