Early life[edit]Imogen Jennifer Heap was born in the London Borough of Havering.[2] She played music from an early age, becoming classically trained in several instruments including piano, cello and clarinet. She attended Friends School, a private, Quaker- run boarding school in Saffron Walden.

Heap's mother (an art therapist) and her father (a construction rock retailer) separated when she was twelve. By the age of thirteen, she had begun writing songs. Heap did not get along well with the music teacher at her boarding school, so she principally taught herself sequencing, music engineering, sampling and production (on Atari computers). She also taught herself to play the guitar and drums, and subsequently two percussion/idiophone instruments, the array mbira and the Hang.[4] After school, she went on to study at the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, South London.

One Acacia song, "Maddening Shroud", would later be covered by Frou Frou.[7]Modern asked Dennis Arnold to place Heap in the line- up in the 1. Prince's Trust Concert in Hyde Park, London organised by Harvey Goldsmith. Heap performed four songs between sets by The Who and Eric Clapton.

Megaphone[edit]Heap's debut album, i. Megaphone (an anagram of "Imogen Heap") was a mixture of self- penned and self- produced tracks, alongside tracks co- written and produced with established producers such as David Kahne, former Eurythmic. Dave Stewart, and Guy Sigsworth.

The album was released in 1. Almo Sounds, to favourable reviews comparing Heap's angst- filled songs to work by PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Chrissie Hynde, Siouxsie Sioux, and Annie Lennox. Promotion for the record included a tour of America and performances around Europe. Three singles were commercially released in the UK: "Getting Scared", "Shine" and "Come Here Boy". Oh Me, Oh My" was sent to US radio stations in place of "Shine". Heap's early success was soon replaced by problems.

Almo Sounds cut funding for UK promotion and gave Heap a deadline to deliver songs for her second album. Upon delivery of the songs, she was told that they lacked "hit potential". It was announced that the record label would be sold to Universal and its artists moved to other labels or released. Heap was one of the artists who was dropped from the label, leaving her without a record contract.[8]i.

The album was released digitally on the US i. Tunes Music Store in early 2. After achieving commercial success with her work with Guy Sigsworth as the duo Frou Frou and her second solo album, Speak for Yourself, Heap was able to secure the re- release of i. Megaphone. In the gap between the end of promotion for i. Megaphone internationally and the re- promotion, Heap had also begun to think about her second solo album, and had started writing songs, both solo, as well as working with Guy Sigsworth; however, as she was without a record deal, the songs were shelved.

During the time when she was unsigned, Heap appeared on two UK singles, "Meantime" (a track written by her former Acacia colleagues Guy Sigsworth and Alexander Nilere for the soundtrack to the independent British film, G: MT – Greenwich Mean Time) and "Blanket" (a 1. Urban Species). In 2. Heap sang on two tracks of the album You Had It Coming by Jeff Beck. Frou Frou[edit]Heap had kept in contact with Guy Sigsworth (who had co- written and produced "Getting Scared" from i. Megaphone) and this led to the pair of them establishing the collaborative project Frou Frou.

The initial concept for Frou Frou was Sigsworth's, and the project was to have been an album written and produced by her with each track featuring a different singer, songwriter, poet or rapper. Heap explains that Sigsworth invited her over to his studio to write lyrics to a four- bar motif he had, with one condition – that she include the word "love" somewhere.

The first line she came up with was "lung of love, leaves me breathless", and the Details album track, "Flicks" was written. A week later, Sigsworth called Heap again, and together they wrote and recorded the future single "Breathe In". In August 2. 00. 2, they released the Details album and singles "Breathe In", "It's Good To Be in Love", and "Must Be Dreaming" (although the latter two were not commercially available). The album was critically acclaimed, but did not enjoy the commercial success that they had been hoping for until 2. Let Go became a hit from the Garden State soundtrack. In late 2. 00. 3, after an extensive promotional tour of the UK, Europe and the US, the duo were told that their record label, Island Records would not be picking up the option for a second album.

Heap and Sigsworth remain firm friends, and have worked together since the project, including their temporary re- formation in late 2.
