Dido

 

Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong, known as Dido (born 25 December 1971), is a British singer and songwriter

 

Dido attained international success with her debut album No Angel (1999). It sold over 21 million copies worldwide, and won several awards, including the MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act, two NRJ Awards for Best New Act and Best Album, and two Brit Awards for Best British Female and Best Album

 

No Angel 's success in the United States didn't come quickly. Dido toured small venues around the country until one day she received a letter from rapper Eminem in which he explained that he wanted to sample her tune "Thank You" in a song he was working on, "Stan." He included a CD containing the song so she could hear how he would use it. Dido gave Eminem permission to use the sample—a decision that launched her career into superstardom
