Nash is currently signed to The Island Def Jam Motown Ireland Group.
Nash was born on 6 July 1987 in Harrow, London to an English father, Steven Nash, and an Irish mother, Marie (née Walsh). Marie is a nurse in a hospice. Nash learned to play the piano while at at Sandbach School. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended St. John Fisher School, Pinner, before moving onto the St Joan of Arc Catholic School, Rickmansworth. She was also taught guitar by Saskia van Berkel and studied Theatre at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in South London. She auditioned at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, but was rejected. Soon afterward, she fell down a flight of stairs, breaking her foot. During her recovery, she was housebound and unable to move, so her mother bought her an electric guitar. Nash used this time to focus on her songwriting: she began to write some new songs, finish old ones and decided that she would book a gig at a local bar ("Trinity") in Harrow to showcase her songs.[citation needed]
I pray that hand of yours gets cut right from your wrist,
As you cast out your arm and turn down your thumb.
It's so easy to pass out judgement when you take no fucking risks.
Don't need the approval of someone who spits poison every time they speak.
Venom rolls off your tongue, and between your teeth.
But your words don't mean a thing. (They've never meant a thing to me)
Cause you have never loved anything more than yourself.
And there is nothing, I said nothing, nothing,
So righteous, noble and good that your ego could not devour in a fucking
Heartbeat.
Hear the sound of your chest thump.
I pray that hand of yours get hacked right off your wrist.
Sliced through like a god damn hammer, hope the pain drops you to your
Fucking knees cause if you can't stand then you can't stomp on these
Dreams.
I've seen your kind. You're all the same.
