Birth name: Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong. Born: December 25, 1971 London , England. Dido biography (bio): Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong is an English BRIT Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated singer and songwriter who performs under her nickname and stage name Dido. Dido's mother, Claire (nee Collins), is a French poet and her father, William O'Malley Armstrong (9 November 1938–22 December 2006) was an Irish publisher and former managing director of Sidgwick & Jackson. Informally named after the mythical Carthaginian queen, Dido was educated at Thornhill Primary, City of London Girls' and Westminster School. Because she was born on Christmas Day, in childhood she celebrated, rather in the manner of the British monarch, an "official" birthday on 25 June. After she stole a recorder from school at age five, her parents enrolled her at the Guildhall School of Music in London, England. By the time she reached her teens Dido had learned to play the piano, recorder and the violin. After her teens and whilst working as a literary agent, Dido studied law at Birkbeck, University of London, however, she never completed this course, deciding instead to take up music full-time. After learning the guitar, she showcased her skills to audiences during her 2004 Life for Rent tour. Personal life: Upon the release of No Angel, after a long time promoting the album, Dido broke up with fiancé Bob Page (entertainment lawyer), after a seven year long relationship. She has described the departure with Bob Page as her being "a free agent in every sense", however, still maintains a friendship with him. A few songs on her No Angel album were written about him (Thank You was written about missing Bob). She thanked ex-fiancé Bob upon winning the songwriter of the year award at the Ivor Novello music awards. "The song Thank You still sums up that relationship. Being single might make my album more psycho this time." Dido has had a few boyfriends after her long term relationship with Bob Page (1995-2002, broken engagement) including Ferdinand Rafael Andres Unger-Hamilton (2002-03), Rodney Webber (2004), and Sol Campbell (2004). Dido's brother is Rollo Armstrong from the music group Faithless. Dido provided vocals on Faithless recordings and shows. During the beginning of Dido's career she used to suffer from panic attacks, after witnessing a stabbing in the audience at a Faithless gig. |
