Dido
Her name is Dido. She's born on Christmas Day 1971 and she's from London. The rest of the band are all from New York. Her first instrument was (rather embarassingly) the recorder. Dido entered London's Guildhall School of Music at age six, and by the time she reached her teens had already mastered piano, violin and recorder. After touring with a British classical ensemble, she accepted a publishing job, in the meanwhile singing in a series of local groups before joining the trip-hop outfit Faithless -- helmed by her older brother, the noted DJ and producer Rollo -- in 1995.As the group's 1996 debut album "Reverence" went on to sell some five million copies worldwide, Dido began working on solo material, developing a lushly ethereal sound combining elements of acoustic pop and electronica; signing with Arista, she released her debut CD "No Angel" in mid-1999.Her favorite vacation spot is Barbados. She likes music from Air (Moon Safari) to Missy Elliot (Supa Dupa Fly). Her first concert was a gig of Santana with Pat Metheny, Dido: "my mum took me when I was quite young".
