The Dø is a French/Finnish indie pop band founded in Paris in 2005. The band is Olivia Bouyssou-Merilahti (singer and musician) and Dan Levy (multi-instrumentalist). The duo has been backed on stage by three different drummers (Jérémie Pontier 2007-2008, José Joyette 2008-2009, Pierre Belleville since 2009). Their first studio album A Mouthful topped the French charts in 2008, making them the first French act singing in English to reach that position.
Olivia Bouyssou Merilahti and Dan Levy met in 2005 while recording the music for a French movie Empire of the Wolves directed by Chris Nahon and produced by Gaumont. The music was released on Because music
They released their first piece under the name The Dø a few months later : a 3-track EP including The Bridge is Broken for a contemporary dance ballet titled Scène d’amour by Finnish choreographer Juha-Pekka Marsalo. They kept on working for cinema (The Passenger, awarded at the Festival d’Angers and the Festival d’Aubagne, Wild Camp, and Darling), dance (Prologue, Perle and Cinderella by Juha-Pekka Marsalo, as well as poetry lectures by Carolyn Carlson) and theatre (Laure by Colette Peignot).
The band’s name is pronounced the same as the English word “dough”, with a long “o” sound. The band’s name is derived from the first note of the scale in C (Do-Re-Mi, etc.). It is written with the letter Ø (slashed o), but it is in no way linked to Olivia’s Finnish origins- the slashed o doesn’t exist in Finnish alphabet. “D” is also often typed as a lower-case letter, since it looks like a half note that way.

I think she has an amazing voice...reminds me of Bjork in some ways. Heard The Do for the first time a few days ago on BBC 6 Music and I'm hooked.
