Biography

Havering, Outer London (1997 – present)

Imogen Heap (born December 9, 1977, in Havering, Outer London) is a British / artist. She is known for her work as part of the musical duo Frou Frou from 2002-3, and for her solo albums, which she writes, produces, and mixes. She has released a series of solo albums including Ellipse (in 2009), a North American chart success that earned Heap two Grammy nominations and won her the Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical) award.

Heap grew up playing music from an early age, and by her eleventh birthday she was writing her own songs. From the age of 15, she studied at the BRIT School Of Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, South London, recording three tracks for the school’s annual CD between 1994 and 1995, “Aliens” being the title track of the latter.

After being introduced to Nik Kershaw by his manager Mickey Modern, Heap and Kershaw recorded four demos that Mickey Modern took to Rondor Music. Consequently, a few months later Heap signed her first record contract at 18 to independent record label Almo Sounds. During 1996, Heap began working with an experimental pop band called Acacia, which featured her future collaborator Guy Sigsworth and was fronted by the singer Alexander Nilere. While never a full member of the band, Heap was a guest vocalist (as a counterpart to Nilere) and contributed to various Acacia single and album tracks in 1997. One Acacia song, “Maddening Shroud”, would later be covered by Frou Frou.

    Ideally, it'll be out this year. Realistically, it'll probably be out sometime next year.

    Telemiscommunications isn't really a new track, it's been out since September... [2] Well yes, deadmau5 released it with his new album >album name goes here< but Imogen Heap released it as a single with the video :)

    I need a new 'Speak For Yourself' tbh. [2] I honestly think she needs to follow her own heart to make the music that best suits her now. I mean, she can't keep on doing the same thing just because it works.

    I'd like it if she produced something with some power in it. All these individual songs created since the last album are very creative, but they aren't very listenable. Need something exciting like Daylight Robbery! [2] I absolutely agree with you! I feel exactly the same about the new songs..

    @Mindcircus I wouldn't necessarily say that the Heapsongs aren't listenable, but I do agree that they don't have the same impact as the songs from Speak For Yourself. As talented as she is, and as nice as her newer work is, I feel like she *might* never surpass what she did with Speak For Yourself.
