Before becoming an "overnight" global diva, the London-born Florian de Bounevialle Cloud Armstrong had already honed her musical skills with her brother Rollo's band Faithless. But it was No Angel that struck a universal chord with lovers of sophisticated, catchy dream-pop songs with trip-hop undertones. Even Eminem liked "Thank You" enough to sample its first verse on his subsequent megahit "Stan."

Dido's mellow approach and pretty melodies are a bit too laid-back to qualify as groundbreaking. But it would be cynical to altogether dismiss the chanteuse's sincere intentions and gorgeous voice. In 2003, her second CD, Life for Rent, a polished followup that reflected on her breakup with her fiance, was released.

Dido is expected to release her third album later this year.

By the time Dido was 10 she played piano, violin, and the recorder.
Dido took part in the Band Aid 20 re-recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
