Kate Nash is an English singer songwriter from Harrow, Middlesex. Nash's success began when she fell down the stairs and broke her foot, causing her to be housebound and immobile. Her parents then bought her a guitar as a source of entertainment, and she started to write songs and post them on MySpace, as well as play for local gigs. A few months later Lily Allen put Nash on her top eight, on her MySpace music profile, causing her site to be seen by potential fans.
