Biography
[edit]Reid grew up in Acton and went to school in West London and received classical vocal training in her teens.[3] She was initially planning to pursue acting after earning a drama scholarship,[4] until deciding to pursue psychoanalysis as a career, working as a hairdresser and in a bar before going to university. 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.[5]
Reid's battle with stage fright has been widely reported, saying in an interview that "sometimes the nerves don't lift at all, and I just feel horrible, and panicky throughout".[6] To help combat this, she started practising Emotional Freedom Technique.[2]
Reid is known for her expansive vocal range and emotive contralto voice.[7][8][9]
Personal life
[edit]Hannah Reid has been in a relationship with Sean O'Connor for several years. Together they have a son, Joshua Cillian Reid O'Connor.[10]
