Imogen Heap is like no other. In her musical style, her on-stage presence, her costumes and the way she creates and performs her music - she is a truly unique artist. Part folk-pop singer, part electronic dream weaver, Imogen combines flowing vocals, piano, guitar, organ, synthesizers and more to create a haunting ambient sound. She demands attention as soon as she enters the stage, dressed in a glorious ball gown and towering high at six foot tall (six foot three if she has adorned her hair with feathers). Looking Amazonian yet dressed like a regency princess, she addresses the crowd like old friends, sometimes sipping from a cup of tea, showcasing an enviable sense of humor and show stopping smile. She is warm, engaging and happy to share her process with her fans. Imogen has been compared to some great female vocalists such as Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and PJ Harvey, however the way she creates her music is exceptionally individual, layering electronic beats with non musical sounds. Songs such as "Hide and Seek," "Goodnight and Go" and "Headlock" are some of her best known work, but look out for "Closing In" and "Just for Now" from the 2009 "Speak for Yourself" album.
