Born on January 9, 1987 and raised in Paisley, SCOTLAND, Paolo Nutini
is a talented singer+songwriter blessed with a soulful, passionate voice
and the natural gift of being able to tell a story in a song. Despite
their Italian name, the Nutini family has lived in Paisley for at least
four generations. Paolo's musical education began with his late grandfather,
who introduced him to Scottish Folk songs as well as a wide range of other
styles. At 16, Nutini hit the road with a friend's band, acting as roadie,
T-shirt vendor and occasional on-stage support act. From there, the die
was cast, he quit school in Glasgow and moved to London, where he started
performing regularly at clubs around town.
In July 2006, Nutini's moving first single, "Last Request",
went straight into the U.K. chart at #5. The debut album, "These
Streets", followed at #3 on the Official Pop Albums chart, going
gold in less than two weeks and certified platinum just four short weeks
later. In addition to its popular success, the album received a bounty
of critical praise. A truly charismatic live performer, Paolo Nutini has
supported such superstars as Paul Weller,
The Rolling Stones and Robert
Plant. "Last Request" was eventually released in the U.S.
in early 2007 along with the Hot Adult Top 40 hit "New Shoes".
