Hannah Reid
Birthday: December 30, 1989
Hannah Felicity May Reid (born 30 December 1989) is an English musician. She is the lead singer of the indie pop band London Grammar. Reid grew up in Acton, and went to school in West London. She received vocal training, and wanted to pursue psychoanalysis as a career, working as a hairdresser and in a bar, before going to university. She was initially planning to pursue acting after earning a drama scholarship. Reid was studying art history and English at the University of Nottingham where she met guitarist Dan Rothman in a hall of residence. Together with Rothman and Dominic 'Dot' Major, she started the band London Grammar in 2009. Reid's battle with stage fright has been widely reported; in an interview she said about being on stage '"sometimes the nerves don't lift at all, and I just feel horrible, and panicky throughout"'. To help combat this, she started practising Emotional Freedom Technique. In 2013, the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show published a tweet about her appearance, and Reid commented on the "casual sexism" this showed. Reid is known for her expansive vocal range and emotive contralto voice. Hannah Reid has been in a relationship with Sean O'Connor for several years. Together they have a son, Joshua Cillian Reid O'Connor. Source: Article "Hannah Reid" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
