Thea Eve Gilmore (born November 25, 1979) is an Oxfordshire-born British female singer-songwriter. She began her career working in a studio, where she was discovered by her now long-time collaborator, producer and sometime co-songwriter Nigel Stonier, whom she married in October 2005.
She became interested in music as a result of her father’s record collection, which included work by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and The Beatles. Later, she listened to Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and The Replacements, among others. She began writing poetry at the age of 15 to cope with the divorce of her parents.
Gilmore released her first album as a teenager, entitled Burning Dorothy, in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success. She finally made a breakthrough at 23 with the release of Avalanche in August 2003, which became her first album to break into the Official UK Album Chart, at #62, and spawned two minor hit singles, „Juliet (Keep That in Mind)“ and „Mainstream“, for which she garnered acclaim for producing a low-budget music video filmed in a local Virgin Megastore. The video received exposure on the BBC’s flagship music show Top of the Pops 2.
In 2004, legendary folksinger Joan Baez personally invited Gilmore to open for her during her tour leading up to the US presidential election.

Totally agree with the last comment,one of the most talented female singers in the U.K and has shunned all the big record labels so she can pursue what she believes in without being manipulated

As a starter? I began with Rules for Jokers. I'm still more partial to that and The Lipstick conspiracies than more recent works (not to say the others aren't also great!).
