She's the 6 foot tall London based singer/songwriter with the cool Dickensian name. A self proclaimed geek, she enjoys merging melodic compositions with computer generated soundscapes. This makes her interestingly unique. NPR World Cafe recently interviewed Immi, recording a cross section of her latest CD, Speak For Yourself.
Heap Factoids:
1. Her live debut was pinned between Clapton and The Who before 150K.
2. Mortgaged her London flat to finance Speak for Yourself. Produced it!
3. Has opened for Coldplay and Norah Jones. Was in Seattle last month.

As I glanced at your blog I couldn't help but wonder at how cool you are to be so in tune with all the same indie people that my boys are into. They really like Imogen Heap. By the way, how do you pronounce her name? It looks like Imogene with a long e but the boys are saying it's with a short e sound. Please help us settle our differences.

Hi Peggy! It's always an honor.
You and "the boys" are both right. Imogen could easily be pronounced both ways. The strong consensus out there seems to be Eye-ma-gin.This lady rox my sox. I've probably listend to Speak for Yourself 3X through over the last week!
