Kate Nash


   
          
          Nash was born on 6 July 1987 in Brent, London, England, and grew up amidst Brit pop culture. Nash became interested in music as a child and learned how to play the piano at Sandbach School. She was taught guitar by teacher Saskia van Berkel. She auditioned at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School but was rejected after falling down a flight of stairs, breaking her foot. During her recovery she was housebound and unable to move, so her mother bought her an electric guitar. Nash used this time to focus on her songwriting: she began to write some new songs.
         After several gigs, she uploaded her music to MySpace. She found a manager for herself before seeking producers for her music. Nash's debut was a single, "Caroline's a Victim" / "Birds". Due to demand another 1000 copies were made and sold out.
          In April 2007, Nash's second single and first through Fiction Records, "Foundations", which she co-wrote with producer Paul Epworth, was released on 18 June 2007 and reached number two in the official UK Singles Chart. The album was leaked to file sharing networks days before its commercial release, and received mixed reviews, with The Independent ‘describing it as being in "pole position for worst album of the year." The album, however, was commercially successful and reached number 1 in the UK album charts.
Throughout late 2007 and early 2008, she released three more singles from the album. "Mouthwash" and "Pumpkin Soup" both made the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart.
