Joni Mitchell's Bio: Born Roberta Joan Anderson on 7th November 1943 in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada, Mitchell is a musician, artist, and poet. She grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and briefly attended the Alberta College of Art at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, Alberta. Her writing and art talent emerged before her exposure as a gifted musician performing in Western Canada, including Winnipeg, where she met Neil Young.
