Imogen Heap is an English singer-songwriter, producer, and audio innovator whose eclectic work spans various genres including electronic, pop, and alternative. Born on December 9, 1977, in the London Borough of Havering, Heap demonstrated an early interest in music, going on to study at the Brit School for Performing Arts & Technology. She began her solo career with the release of her debut album "iMegaphone" in 1998, which showcased her distinctively haunting vocals and introspective songwriting.

Heap's international acclaim rose significantly with her 2005 hit single "Hide & Seek," a track distinguished by its use of vocoder and a cappella vocals, which later gained further recognition from being sampled by Jason Derulo and in pop culture. Her subsequent album, "Speak for Yourself," cemented her reputation as a pioneering artist unafraid to experiment with technology, including the development of her gesture-controlled MI.MU gloves. Her contributions to the score for the stage production "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" highlight the breadth of her talents, while her innovativeness is underscored by the release of "Tiny Human," the first song to use blockchain technology for music sharing. Imogen Heap consistently pushes the boundaries of music production and performance, crafting immersive experiences for her listeners and influencing the industry with her creative approaches to sound and tech.
