Lily Allen Biography
With her omnivorous musical tastes and cheeky attitude,
London-based pop singer/songwriter Lily Allen made a name for herself
almost as soon as she released her demos on the Internet. The daughter
of comedian Keith Allen, Lily spent most of her childhood bouncing from
one school to another -- in fact, she attended 13 different schools
between the ages of five and 15. This constant moving meant she didn't
have much of a chance to make lasting friendships, so Allen entertained
herself with books and, especially, music: she listened to everything
from T. Rex, the Specials, and the Slits to the Happy Mondays and
drum'n'bass, and even ran away to see the Glastonbury Festival when she
was 14. After she left school a year later, she realized that music was
the only career for her. Allen concentrated on her songwriting and
singing, developing a style that was equally sweet and bratty; late in
2005, she set up a MySpace page and posted demos of her songs, as both
individual tracks and as part of two limited-edition mixtapes that
also featured tracks by Dizzee Rascal, Creedence Clearwater Revival,
and Ludacris. The critical acclaim for her work fueled Allen's
publicity, leading to tens of thousands of friends on MySpace, airplay
on BBC Radio One, and a record deal with Regal/Parlophone before the
end of 2005.
Allen began working on her full-length album with producers such as
Greg Kurstin, Mark Ronson (with whom she also collaborated on a cover
of the Kaiser Chiefs' Oh My God that appeared on her second mixtape),
and Futurecut, and released a limited-edition 7 of LDN as her debut
single in spring 2006. Both LDN and Smile, which followed that summer,
were chart successes, with the former reaching number seven on the U.K.
chart and the latter hitting number one the week it debuted. Hot on the
heels of Smile came Allen's first full-length, Alright, Still, which
she supported with a slew of dates stretching out to the end of the
year. Despite the speed of her success, Allen continued to update her
MySpace page with amusing blog rants, including one about her June 2006
appearance on Top of the Pops that berated the lead singer of the Kooks
for wearing broken straw hats and dark sunglasses indoors and Dirty
Pretty Things for having organic sliced bread on the rider. Allen
rang in 2007 with more tour dates, including gigs in Japan, Australia,
and the U.S., and the U.S. release of Alright, Still. She also earned
nominations for British Breakthrough Act and British Female Solo for
that year's Brit Awards, while Smile and Alright, Still were
nominated for British Single and British Album, respectively. ~ Heather
