Joni

Joni Mitchell's journey in music defies industry norms, starting from her early coffee-house performances to gaining creative control over her work. Unlike her contemporaries who focused on feminism, she explored her personal experiences and emotions. While arena rock dominated, she embraced jazz, and her critical view of icons like Bob Dylan showcased her unique perspective. Often seen as both a diva and a genius, Mitchell's true recognition as a profound artist and thinker remains elusive, highlighting her complex relationship with the music industry.
