Beth Ditto

Beth Ditto is, to my ears, a force you cannot ignore. Out of Searcy, Arkansas, she fronted the indie rock band Gossip with a voice fairly compared to Etta James, Janis Joplin, and Tina Turner. What I admire most is her refusal to shrink. She built a career on her own terms, defying conventional expectations about how a performer should look or behave, and carried that defiance into fashion and a solo career after Gossip. There is something genuinely liberating about an artist that comfortable in her own skin. The voice is huge, but the self-possession is what stays with me.
