Dido
Singer
Dido's first LP No Angel was released in 1999. The album blended her lonesome voice with a lush mix of guitars and electronics, drawing comparisons to Sinead O'Connor and Sarah McLachlan. The single "Here With Me" was chosen as the theme song for the aliens-among-us TV show Roswell and Dido got another boost when her song "Thank You" was sampled by rapper Eminem on his 2000 song "Stan." Dido is the brother of Rollo, the British DJ and producer, and has performed with his band FaithlessExtra credit: Dido's name is pronounced DYE-doe... Dido is a name from Virgil's Aeneid; she is the founder and queen of Carthage.
Other pop singers on Who2 include Alanis Morissette, Roberta Flack and Kylie Minogue.
