Singer/songwriter Beth Orton combined the passionate beauty of the acoustic folk tradition with the electronic beats of trip-hop to create a fresh, distinct fusion of roots and rhythm. Born in Norwich, England in December 1970, Orton debuted as one half of the duo Spill, a one-off project with William Orbit which released a cover of John Martyn's "Don'T Wanna Know About Evil." She continued working with Orbit on his 1993 LP "Strange Cargo 3", co-writing and singing the track "Water From A Vine Leaf" before appearing with the group Red Snapper on their first singles "Snapper"
