Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O’Malley Armstrong (born 25 December 1971), known professionally as Dido (/ˈ d aɪ d oʊ / DY -doh), is an English singer and songwriter. Dido attained international success with her debut album No Angel (1999). Hit singles from the album include “Here with Me” and “Thank You”. It sold over 21 million copies worldwide, and won her several awards, including two Brit Awards: Best British Female and Best British Album, and the MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act.

In 2004 Dido performed with other British and Irish artists in the Band Aid 20 version of the charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”.

In 1995, Dido began recording 10 demo tracks which were put together on a collection entitled Odds & Ends and sent out by Nettwerk management. Nettwerk had signed her after she was brought to their attention by her collaborations with Faithless, the UK dance act spearheaded by her brother, Rollo Armstrong (Dido co-wrote and provided vocals for album tracks, such as “Flowerstand Man” and “Hem of His Garment”). The collection was released by Nettwerk on CD-R acetate in 1995 and featured a mixture of finished productions and demo versions which she later considered for release on her 1999 debut album, No Angel. Odds & Ends brought her to the attention of A&R Peter Edge at Arista Records, who signed her in the US in late 1996, and negotiated a co-sign deal with her brother’s independent record label, Cheeky Records. Of the tracks included on Odds & Ends, “Take My Hand” was included on all editions of No Angel as a bonus track; “Sweet Eyed Baby” was remixed and renamed to “Don’t Think of Me”, while “Worthless” and “Me” were released exclusively on the Japanese edition.

American rapper Eminem helped introduce Dido to a US audience in 2000 when he received permission from Dido herself to sample the first verse of “Thank You” in his hit single “Stan”. Dido also appeared in the music video as Stan’s pregnant girlfriend. She did not want to do the video at first, as she was uncomfortable with the scene in the video where she had to be tied up and have her mouth covered with duct tape, but later agreed to it and got along well with Eminem and the crew on set. In North America, the video usually aired with the trunk scene censored. Interest soared in her debut album, leading it to hit charts in Europe on import sales alone, charting in the top five on the UK Albums Chart before its official UK re-release. “Thank You” was also sampled by the Airheadz in their trance track “Stanley Here I Am” originally as a bootleg, but later entering the UK Top 40 in April 2001.
