Isabella Janet Florentina Summers (born 31 October 1980) is an English musician, songwriter, producer, remixer and member of English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. As well as being the keyboard player for the group, Summers has five co-writing credits〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Florence + The Machine * – Lungs )〕 on the critically acclaimed, BRIT Award-winning ''Lungs''. and three on the album ''Ceremonials''. She has three songs on the new ''How Big How Blue'' LP, "Delilah", "How Big, How Blue' and "Which Witch", including two productions on the deluxe version. When not on tour with Florence and the Machine, Summers writes, produces and remixes tracks for artists including Iggy Azalea, Ella Henderson, Flux Pavillion, Maxine Ashley, Rita Ora, Judith Hill, and The Game. ==Background== Summers lived her first nine years in London, and met Florence Welch as the young Summers would babysit Welch's younger sister Grace. The Summers family moved at the age of nine to Aldeburgh, Suffolk. There Summers attended Woodbridge School,〔(Aldeburgh: Florence and the Machine writer set to release new music ), EADT〕 and in her teenage years got an interest in music by spending evenings with fishermen's sons "who would smoke a ton of weed and listen to hip-hop."〔Shannon, Aideen. "Isabella Summers". ''1883'', June 2012〕 For her university years, Summers moved back to London, where she would get a fine arts degree at Central Saint Martins. In the meantime she bought a set of DJ mixers to learn how to mix, while also doing side jobs such as being a runner for ''Top of the Pops'' and transcriptions and film digitising for Alan Parker.〔 Soon she was working with Dan Greenpeace on his 'All City Show' radio show on XFM London, an experience that lead Summers to buy her first MPC which was installed at the cupboard of her shared flat. With the help of a friend she started a studio in a former plastics factory at Crystal Palace, and began making hip hop.〔 During this time, Summers worked with, amongst others, Kashmere The Iguana Man, IRS Crew, MBC Crew, Inja and The Last Skeptic. She would also have meetings with Welch during DJ work and art school, as Welch was attending the Camberwell College of Arts. As Summers was hired to remix songs by the band Ludes, Welch became a more common sight at her studio given she was dating Ludes' guitarist Matt Alchin, and even impressed Summers with her singing. One day, as Summers got into a creative rut and thought of writing pop music with a woman, she invited Welch to write songs with her.〔 Following a day joining Summers' beats with Welch's lyrics, soon they were creative partners, with Welch nicknaming Summers "Isabella Machine" for her electronic music skills.〔 This lead to them performing together for a time under the name Florence Robot/Isa Machine. The project was renamed to Florence and the Machine as according to Welch "that name was so long it'd drive me mad." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isabella Summers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
