Kate Nash

Kate Marie Nash (born 6 July 1987) is an English musician and actress from North Harrow. 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 her third and fourth albums, ''Girl Talk'' (2013) and ''Yesterday Was Forever'' (2018), on her own label. She funded the latter two using PledgeMusic and Kickstarter and documented the making of ''Yesterday Was Forever'' for the 2018 documentary ''Under-Estimate the Girl''.

A fifth album, ''9 Sad Symphonies'', was released on Kill Rock Stars in 2024, and Nash opened an OnlyFans account to subsidise losses from its tour. Her music was initially compared to that of Lily Allen, with tabloids criticising both it and her personally. Nash also 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 also 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). She has also been involved in a wide range of philanthropy efforts. Provided by Wikipedia
