Yes, absolutely. Not that everyone will like Happy, but she definitely
fits into the list you gave. She's much more obscure than those artists
mainly because she doesn't have a record contract and has always been
very independent. She has 5 albums out (paid for all of them herself,
with the help of her co-producer/SO Kevin Bartlett) and is working on
her 6th. She writes all her own music/lyrics.

Like Bush/Amos/Vega/Tikaram/McLachlan, she's hard to categorize and
label, so you'll excuse me if I don't even try to tell you what her
music sounds like. Whatever category those women fit into, put Happy
there too.

If you'd like further information, either subscribe to Ecto and/or
write to me. Thanks for asking about her!
