Biography

Belle was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest sibling of three.[2] She started out busking covers of R.E.M. and Alanis Morissette.

At 17 she left Glasgow for London to try to make a career in music. In 2001, she was signed to a short-lived manufactured pop-folk group called the Alice Band. In 2004, Belle was spotted by a friend of Stewart's when she was busking outside an underground station.[3]

After the duet with Stewart, Belle moved to Los Angeles through contacts she made via Stewart's manager. There she recorded a track with Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek from The Doors,[1] and wrote two songs for Miley Cyrus, "Talk Is Cheap" and "Giving You Up".

Personal life

She is married to an English solicitor.

gollark: Maybe. I think that would be pretty much like the callback approach but with a slightly different interface, though.
gollark: Oh dear. I might just have to go for the callback thing then, where I have a function which does the initialization, `defer`s the appropriate `free`s, and then calls the main logic.
gollark: The Nim GC presumably doesn't know what references are present within cmark's structures.
gollark: And the function returned or something.
gollark: If I did that, wouldn't it incorrectly try and free a node if it had just been added to a tree?
