Nerina Pallot - Interview

Contactmusic.com caught up with Nerina Pallot at her recent show in Manchester. Her last album Fires reached much critical acclaim both in the UK & in America. Embraced by both radio one & two Nerina has become a voice we’ve all been listening to in recent months. 

Born in London to a half-French father and Indian-born mother, Pallot spent part of her childhood in India before settling in Jersey.

In 2002, she released her debut album in the UK through a major label - an experience that taught her, “many things, but especially that it’s never a good idea to make a video in which you fly.” Parting company with the mainstream music business, Pallot recorded Fires between LA and her London home before releasing the album on her own label Idaho in 2005.
