Alice Martineau
Alice Katherine Martineau (8 June 1972 – 6 March 2003) was an English pop singer and songwriter.
Martineau was born in Merton to parents David Martineau (a retired judge) and Elizabeth Allom. Her older brother, Luke, is an artist and painter. Martineau played both the piano and the flute as a child, developing a passion for songwriting and performing after taking singing lessons.
Martineau was born with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that causes chronic lung and digestive problems. During her early childhood, she had to go on a special high-fat diet, take antibiotics, and undergo physiotherapy.
On her father's side, Martineau was of French descent and was a descendant of the prominent Martineau family, known for its intellectual prowess, business ventures, and political influence, with many members being knighted. Her great grandfather was fencer Sydney Martineau. Her fifth great grandfather was third generation surgeon David Martineau; her sixth cousin once removed is Catherine, Princess of Wales.
On her mother's side, her maternal uncles are record producer Tom Allom, who has worked on albums for Judas Priest and Def Leppard, and cricketer Anthony Allom. Her maternal grandfather Maurice Allom also played cricket. Her great-great-great grandfather was architect and illustrator Thomas Allom. Her great grand uncle was decorator Charles Allom.
In 1993, she attended the University of Warwick to study English, but was forced to drop out two weeks later after developing a lung infection. She later switched to King's College London, where she graduated with a first-class honours degree in English.
After graduation, Martineau began working as a model. Fearing that her condition would lower her chances of getting a deal, Martineau would hide her condition by arriving at the modelling agencies early and leaving late so that she wouldn't appear "breathless". Because she had a co-ordination problem when walking (due to a vitamin deficiency), she wore shoes at the interviews. She was eventually signed to work for an agency that specialises in models with "unusual features". Because she was only 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall, Martineau did not model on catwalks. Instead, she did photo sessions and appeared in teen magazines such as Just 17 and Jackie.
Before commencing a career as a singer-songwriter in her mid-twenties, Martineau appeared as an extra in various music videos, filmed adverts for MTV and appeared on television on Richard & Judy.
