Due to an injury in 2005, where she fell down the stairs, breaking her foot, Nash started to record at home. With enough songs to perform a live set, she began to play gigs. It was after she uploaded her music to MySpace when everything fell into place seeing Nash find manager and then producers to work with. She released her first single “Caroline’s a Victim” through Moshi Moshi Records in February 2007 which sold out 3000 copies. The song featured on MTV2 and the B-Side, “Birds” made it to the track list of her debut album, “Made of Bricks”.
Kate Nash signed to Polydor Records in April 2007, and released the single “Foundations” in the June of that year, which shot up the UK Singles Chart, making it to number 2. Nash’s record label decided to bring the release date of the album forward to be released in August 2007. The album reached number 1 in the albums chart, and that same year she went on to perform at many major festivals including Wireless, Bestival and Glastonbury. She also made her television debut on Later… with Jools Holland. The album had by this point been certified Platinum.
Nash released her second album, “My Best Friend is You” on April 19th 2010. It reached similar success to the previous album, making the top 10 in the UK Albums Chart, and charting internationally. The leading single from the album “Do-Wah-Doo” made it to number 15 in the UK Singles Chart.
On March 4th 2013, Kate Nash released “Girl Talk”, her third studio album. Her music had evolved into a much more earthy and garage punk sound. She moved to a different record label called “10p Records”. Unfortunately the album didn’t quite match her chart success, but still made it to the top 100 in the UK, Austria, Germany and Ireland.
