Dame Evelyn Glennie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. She studied at the Royal Academy of Music. She has been performing for more than years, and plays over different percussion instruments. She not only plays and records classical and pop music, but has also composed several film . Dame Evelyn finds it frustrating that journalists often write about her more than her music. She thinks that there is no real difference between hearing and a vibration. When Dame Evelyn performs, she never wears in order to feel the vibrations of her instruments.
