Early life and education

Boden was born in Dublin in 1962. As a child, Boden studied dance there and later in New York City, culminating in a scholarship to the Dance Theatre of Harlem.[1] She then moved back to London to focus on songwriting.[2]

Career

After sending demo recordings to producer and musician Kevin Armstrong, Brigid signed with A&M/PolyGram Records and released one album in 1996,[3] the lead single of which, "Oh, How I Cry", peaked at No. 44 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in 1997 with help of a remix by Todd Terry.[4] A&M was absorbed by Interscope Records in 1999, and Boden did not release any new material until 2007, when a second album was released by Universal Records. She has also recorded music for several soundtracks, including Dead Man Walking and The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring, and has begun recording her third album.
