Product Description
Rumer was born and spent the very early years of her life in Pakistan. Her father's engineering job led her along with six other siblings to Darbela Dam, 30 miles northwest of Islamabad. Previously, the job had taken them to the Western Australian outback and Tasmania as well as to South Africa. . Her brother Rob gave Rumer her first guitar which she taught herself to play, and years later, she wrote all the songs on her debut album, Seasons of My Soul. Life changed when the family returned to the UK and settled in the New Forest. Her parents having separated, Rumer was educated in Carlisle with her Dad, and spent summers in the New Forest. She left school at 16, and began to drift; studying at Art College in Devon and then joining a fledgling indie rock band, La Honda. Plays from Radio 1 followed, as did early support from NME. Her mother died in 2003, and Rumer hit rock bottom. The lyrics of songs like "Healer" document Rumer's journey through grief. On the dole and back in London, Rumer took action. She travelled to a stately home in the countryside, where she essentially lived as part of a commune, owned by a "charismatic, philanthropic baronet. " Rumer's luck changed when she met award-winning TV and musical composer Steve Brown ("It's A Wonderful Life, " "Spend, Spend Spend") at the Cobden Club in Kensal Rise. Rumer and Steven worked together and produced the first single "Slow. " Having been signed to ATC Management, all corners of the industry quickly began angling for her signature. Her hard work paid off when Rumer finally signed to Atlantic Records. She released Seasons of My Soul, her self-penned debut album, in 2010.
