Louise Amanda Harman (born 19 December 1985),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lady Sovereign )〕 better known by the stage name Lady Sovereign, is an English rapper best known for her song "Love Me or Hate Me". In 2010, she appeared on the seventh series of the reality show ''Celebrity Big Brother'', being the third housemate to be evicted from the house. ==Early life and family== Lady Sovereign was born Louise Amanda Harman in 1985 to Colin Andrew Harman and Nicola Harman (née Wood), in Wembley, northwest London. She grew up in the run-down Chalkhill Estate — a council estate that has since been demolished — with her parents and two siblings, older sister Chloe Christie (born 1984) and younger brother Richie Colin (born 1987). Lady Sovereign was a tomboy who played football and hated wearing dresses. She had difficulty fitting in at school and was expelled from Preston Manor High School at 15 because of her abysmal attendance record and bad behaviour. A number of menial jobs followed, until she decided to pursue rap after hearing Ms. Dynamite on the radio: "When I heard Ms. Dynamite's track 'Boooo!' in 2001 it inspired me. I hadn't heard a female MC before that. She's real. Her presence, her image, the way she does everything... she opened so many doors for us girls, MCs are real, they write their own stuff, they rap about what they know, the stuff around them."〔 〕 Lady Sovereign began uploading some of her songs and a picture to various music web sites when she was 15. She told ''Newsweek'' in 2006 that comments initially ran along the lines of, "You're white. You're a girl. You're British. You're crap." Lady Sovereign signed with Universal in 2004. She released a number of solo records and opened for Basement Jaxx, The Streets, Dizzee Rascal, D12, and Obie Trice. Her mother Nicola was from an artistic family. Her mother was an artist, her uncle a DJ and music promoter and her aunt, is an artist also. Nicola was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour and died on 14 March (Mothering Sunday in the UK) 2010. 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「Lady Sovereign」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
