British Singer Songwriter "Nerina Natasha Georgina Pallot" BT River Of Music - Europe Stage Trafalgar Square London GB 22 Jul 2012 British singer/songwriter Nerina Pallot spent a childhood either sat at the piano or behind the cover of a book, and it was this love of music and words that has seen her evolve into a consummate composer of gorgeously grown-up pop, crafting songs that tell timeless stories through beautiful melodies and blissfully crafted lyrics........... Birth name Nerina Natasha Georgina Pallot Born 26 April 1975 London, UK Origin Jersey, Channel Islands Genres Pop, pop rock, alternative rock Years active 2001--present Labels Polydor Records (2000--2002) Idaho Records (2004--2005) 14th Floor Records (2005--2008) Echo Label (2009--2010) Geffen (2010--present) Nerina Pallot (born Nerina Natasha Georgina Pallot, 26 April 1975, London) is a platinum selling, BRIT Award and Ivor Novello Award nominated British singer and songwriter. Although born in London, Pallot was brought up in Jersey to a half-French father and mother from Allahabad, India. Early life Pallot played piano as a child and wrote her first song aged 13. She has identified seeing singer and pianist Kate Bush perform her hit song "This Woman's Work" on television as a catalyst for her to pursue a music career. She attended Jersey College for Girls. Career Dear Frustrated Superstar Pallot released her debut album, Dear Frustrated Superstar, on Polydor records in August 2001. This spawned two commercial singles, "Patience" and "Alien", with a third, "If I Know You" mooted, a video for which was filmed, but has never been publicly shown. Her album was withdrawn shortly before an arena tour with Bryan Adams, pending a planned reissue. Subsequently she was dropped from the label partly as a result of a message she wrote on the Tipsheet message board relating to the actions of her A&R; man around remixes of "Photograph", a track intended to be on the re-issued Dear Frustrated Superstar. This incident and many others related to the industry and her experiences with her debut album are discussed in stories on her official website. The album was eventually re-issued several years later after her second album, Fires had become a commercial success. The re-issue matched the original version and did not include "Photograph". Initial retailer listings showed the re-issued album as including several B-Sides from the era, but this version was never issued. In 2003 she sang lead vocals on the track "Truly" on Delerium's album Chimera, which was also released as a single in the UK.
