Joanna Newsom was born on 18 January 1982 in Grass Valley California to parents who were both doctors by occupation but progressive-minded by thinking. Though not able to watch TV or movies of violent nature, she was exposed to music at an early age because her father was a guitar aficionado and her mother was not only a pianist but a classically trained one.
The future singer was only five years old when she asked her parents if she can learn to play the harp and after she was taught to play the harp, she became the acclaimed performer she is now. Her career started with a band called The Pleased, but it only lasted for a short period of time when she branched off on her own and started her solo music career.

Andy And Joanna’s First Child
The love birds never really express their love out in the open most often, but when they do, it always feels like they are soo much in love. It is what a partner wants in their life, someone who loves and cares for them. But after two people get married, the obvious next step in the relationship is kids, and for years Andy said he would want kids. The actor said he would love to “have a baby someday” and the wish of Andy’s came true when his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in August 2017.
The whole pregnancy was kept under wraps, and the couple informed the birth of their kid after she came into the world. To this date, the two are keeping the name of their daughter under wraps, and maybe it is the right thing to get her as far away from the public eye as possible.
