About Kate Nash
Kate Marie Nash (born 6 July 1987) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and actress. Her singles "Foundations" (2007) and "Do-Wah-Doo" (2010) charted at numbers 2 and 15 on the UK singles chart and her albums Made of Bricks (2007) and My Best Friend Is You (2010) charted at numbers 1 and 8 on the UK Albums Chart. An attempt at diversifying her sound from indie pop prompted her record label to drop her and she released three subsequent EPs and her third and fourth albums, Girl Talk (2013) and Yesterday Was Forever (2018), on her own label. A fifth album, 9 Sad Symphonies, was released on Kill Rock Stars in 2024. Nash co-wrote "Poison", a hit for Rita Ora, and featured on works by Lethal Bizzle, Kano, Fidlar, Watsky, Holychild, Baby Dave, and Soft Play. Aside from music, Nash played Rhonda "Britannica" Richardson in the Netflix comedy-drama series GLOW (2017–2019) and has appeared in the films Greetings from Tim Buckley (2012), Powder Room (2013), Syrup (2013), Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans (2019), and Coffee Wars (2023). Nash also won the Q Award for Breakthrough Artist in October 2007, the Best British Female Solo Artist award at the 2008 Brit Awards and the NME Award for Best Solo Artist in February 2008. To promote the record, Nash embarked on a series of smallscale gigs, which lacked Nash's hits and caused walkouts; subsequent gigs were received more positively and featured Supercute! as an opening act.
