Kate Nash
My Best Friend Is You
Kate Nash
Born and raised in London, Kate Nash started playing music as a kid, but her creative interests didn’t stop there. Nash was contemplating a future as an actor when, after a freak fall down a flight of stairs, she found herself temporarily housebound with a broken leg. To ease her boredom during recovery, the singer’s mom bought her an electric guitar and songwriting became her obsession.
“An artist should be someone who’s sticking it to the man. It’s about rebellion.”
- Kate Nash
Stardom didn’t come knocking straight away and armed with her songs Kate booked herself a gig at a local bar in Harrow called Trinity to showcase her songs. After playing a few local gigs, Nash started uploading her music to MySpace. The response was immediate and overwhelming.
By spring of 2007 the singer and songwriter had a record deal, and by the summer her debut album Made of Bricks was wreaking havoc on the UK charts and made her TV debut on Later with Jools Holland.
What does she think about her quick rise to fame, “I went from being really young and naïve and positive, like ‘oh my god I love life, everything is so fun, to being like ‘I hate the world, everyone’s shit, I want to die,’” Nash says of her ride to the top. “My Best Friend Is You is about trying to find a happy middle.”
