Imogen Heap

Grammy Award-winning U.K. musician Imogen Heap has merged intimate singing/songwriting with off-balance pop and electronica both as a solo artist and as half of Frou Frou. Just over a decade after releasing her debut album, I Megaphone, in 1998, she reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200 with her third solo LP, 2009's Ellipse. Collaborations with artists ranging from Deadmau5 to Taylor Swift followed, and in 2018, she released a set of suites based on her score for the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Experiments with nature recordings and artificial intelligence ensued, including the 2024 single "What Have You Done to Me?," which was created with Heap's curated AI alter ego, Mogen. Born Imogen Jennifer Jane Heap in London, she was raised in Essex, where she studied classical piano from a young age. She began writing songs in her early teens. While attending boarding school in her mid-teens, Heap discovered alternative pop/rock, Euro-pop, and electronica, a musical mixture that effectively ended her desire to become a classical instrumentalist. With her focus now devoted to popular music, she signed with Almo Sounds in 1997, becoming a professional solo artist while still in her late teens. Released by Almo Sounds in 1998, Heap's first album, I Megaphone, reflected influences including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Björk. Although some tracks were self-produced, I Megaphone also found Heap working with three different producers -- David Kahne, Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame), and Guy Sigsworth -- the latter of whom kept in touch with Heap after the album's release. In the early 2000s, she and Sigsworth worked together once again, this time sharing equal responsibilities in the collaborative project Frou Frou. Despite the duo's lighthearted name, Frou Frou utilized electronics to create an atmospheric, dreamy, and nuanced sound. MCA/Universal signed the group in 2001, and Heap temporarily put her solo career on hold.Frou Frou released the album Details in 2002. Two years later, a wider audience discovered the duo's music when "Let Go" was included in the award-winning Garden State soundtrack. Frou Frou had already disbanded by this point, however, and Heap had begun refocusing on her solo career. She released Speak for Yourself in 2005, gaining notice for such singles as "Hide & Seek" (an a cappella song that utilized a digital harmonizer) and "Goodnight and Go" (which charted in the U.K.). Her third studio album, 2009's Ellipse, was recorded in locations including Japan, Thailand, and China, as well as her home studio. It reached number five in the U.S. and cracked the Top 40 in the U.K. before earning Heap a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical) the following year. Work on her fourth long-player began in 2011 when she asked her fans to send her "sound seeds," which included samples of everyday sounds. Heap repurposed them in the single "Lifeline." In 2012, "Telemiscommunications," a track she wrote and performed with deadmau5, appeared on his LP >Album Title Goes Here
