Diamanda Galas is an American avant-garde singer and pianist with Greek roots.
She is known as 'the most extreme of all voice artists'.
Galas has a vocal range of three and a half octaves and produces a deluge of sounds (whispering, growling, speaking, shouting, singing, screeching, etc...), which sometimes feel apocalyptic.
A topic that regularly returns in her work is AIDS. (one of Galas' brothers died from this)
She is also regularly asked by other artists to contribute on their records.
Her music is anything but commercial or easy to listen to, but she has a surprising number of fans, as witnessed by her (impressive) performances that are often sold out.
