Beth Orton
Elizabeth Caroline "Beth" Orton (born 14 December 1970) is an English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Search results )〕 She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit, Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. She released a solo album in 1993, ''Superpinkymandy'' (produced by William Orbit), but since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by international audiences. Her second solo album, ''Trailer Park'', garnered much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the albums ''Central Reservation'' (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, ''Daybreaker''. In her 2006 release, ''Comfort of Strangers,'' she moved towards a more folk-based sound and away from the electronic sound of her past albums.
American films and television programmes such as ''Felicity'', ''How to Deal'', ''Charmed'', ''Dawson's Creek'', ''Vanilla Sky'' and ''Grey's Anatomy'' have featured her music and provided her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.
==Early career==
Orton was born in East Dereham, Norfolk, but moved to Dalston, east London at age 14. Her father, an architectural draughtsman, left her mother when Beth was 11, and she lived with her mother, an artist and political activist, and her two brothers, her father dying shortly afterwards.〔Q Magazine, issue 56, page 202〕〔"Emotional Rescue", Daily Telegraph, 28 January 2006, p32〕 Her mother died from cancer in 1989, when Beth was aged 19,〔"Emotional Rescue", Daily Telegraph, 28 January 2006, p35〕 which led to her travelling to Thailand for a short period, residing with Buddhist nuns. Orton found success as a musician relatively late, having first worked at jobs such as a waitress at Pizza Hut and even owning her own catering company.〔An Interview With Beth Orton, Heavenly Recordings, BETH002, 1999〕 She was also more interested in acting during her early career, having enrolled at the Anna Scher Theatre School, and she spent some time touring ''Une Saison en Enfer'' with a fringe theatre company throughout the UK, Russia and Ukraine, playing Rimbaud's lover.
