Nerina Pallot was born in London, but spent most of her childhood on the island of Jersey. Nerina Pallot's mother is from India, whilst her father is native born from Jersey. Early in life, she spent some time living in India, but spent most of her early school years in Jersey. From there she won a scholarship to Wellington College, a famous military public school in England. Her time at this school provides much of the personal inspiration behind her single Everybody's Gone to War as several of her school friends were directly involved in the Iraq war. In 2007 Nerina Pallot was nominated for a Brit Award in the Best British Female category won by Amy Winehouse. Such was the unexpected nature of this nomination to her, that she had already set the date, Valentine's Day 2007 for her marriage to the music video producer Andrew Chatterley, both briefly leaving the reception in London for the award show. On the 10th of June 2009 , Pallot told Absoloute Radio her album would be called The Graduate. This is to be released on the 5th of October 2009. Nerina worked with many writers for the album but when it came down to the final tracklist only Pallot written material has made the cut. She wrote in her blog that she has approximately 60 viable songs for this long-anticipated album. Read more at: http://www.last.fm/music/Nerina+Pallot/+wiki. |
