- Kate Marie Nash is an English actress, musician, singer and songwriter.
Nash launched her music career in 2005. Her 2007 single "Foundations" became a hit and brought her to public attention in the UK. Her debut album, Made of Bricks, peaked at No. 1 in the UK and was a moderate international success. Nash subsequently won the award for Best British Female Artist at the 2008 Brit Awards. Her second studio album, My Best Friend Is You, was released in 2010 and reached the top 10 in the UK and Germany. After her departure from a major label, Nash self-released her third studio album, Girl Talk, in 2013, but it failed to match the commercial success of her previous records. Her fourth and most recent studio album, Yesterday Was Forever, was also released independently in 2018, funded by her fans via a Kickstarter campaign.
Aside from music, Nash has starred in films such as the drama Greetings from Tim Buckley (2012), the comedy Powder Room (2013), and the comedy-drama Syrup (2013). She played Rhonda "Britannica" Richardson in the Netflix comedy-drama series GLOW (2017-2019). She is also a feminist activist who campaigns against gender inequality.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Bonitao

- In April 2017, she started a Kickstarter campaign to finance her fourth album. The campaign was a success, making it her first crowdfunded album, and her second self-released album after 'Girl Talk'.
- She suffered from tachycardia (exceeding of the normal heart rate), which resulted in symptoms such as chest pains and palpitations. Because of that, she underwent a life-saving laser surgery at the age of 18. Her song "Death Proof" was inspired by that experience.
- A founding member and a director of the Featured Artists' Coalition, a lobby group launched in 2009 with the aim of giving music artists a greater voice in big decisions in the music industry, from digital deals to copyright law.
- Born to an English father and an Irish mother.
- [on why she misses MySpace] There's nothing that's replaced it for me for discovering independent music. Myspace was literally just kids deciding what was cool and putting things in the top eight. No sponsored people. No record labels in charge. No interaction from companies. There's nothing like that anymore. But I do think the internet is the future.
- I've written for other artists and you literally meet these labels with all these names, and they'll point to one and tell you what song they want it to sound like. It's always the song that was number one in the last few weeks. Really, this is the music industry now? It's not very f***ing inspiring.
- Feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan, and it does not mean you are a bitch or a dyke. It means you believe in equality.
