Imelda May is an Irish vocalist, songwriter-composer, and musician who has an estimated net worth of $5.5 million. May is a unique vocal talent, one whose gift lies outside the normal order of pop culture time and trends.  May began performing with the swing outfit Blue Harlem, and released a handful of independent CDs before scoring attention in 2007 with her nomination for an award as Best Burlesque Singer as well as the release of her more official debut, Love Tattoo. The album, featuring her strong backing band comprised of players Dave Priseman, Darrell Higham, Al Gare, and Steve Rushton, was critically and commercially well-received, leading to some high-profile live gigs, including hitting the road with Jools Holland. It was released in the U.S.A. by Decca in 2009, followed by two singles, and scored a mid-level success. May was born Imelda Mary Clabby in Dublin, Ireland on 10 July 1974. She is married to her guitarist and band member, Darrel Higham. She is a vegetarian.
