Dido took music lessons for new album

Singer wanted to use her brain

Dido's new album Safe Trip Home is released this month

Dido has revealed she took music classes while she was recording her latest album.

The singer had lessons at the University of California in LA.

‘I just wanted to use my brain,’ she says. ‘I would go and come back to the studio with my brain in a completely different place.’

But Dido, 36, says her fellow students didn't spot her initially.

'No-one noticed. It's great, no one ever does,' she tells Metro.

'I don't go out of my way to be noticed, but I wasn't wearing a fake beard or anything.'
