Biography
[edit | edit source]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.[3]
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.[2] In 2013, the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show published a tweet about her appearance, and Reid commented on the "casual sexism" this showed.[4]
Reid is known for her expansive vocal range and emotive contralto voice.[5][6][7]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Hannah Reid has been in a relationship with Sean O'Connor for several years. Together they have a son, Joshua Cillian Reid O'Connor.[8]
