Electronic pop chanteuse 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 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 LP No Angel in mid-1999. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
