A first
Nash's second single, "Foundations", arrived in June 2007 and held the No. 2 spot on the UK singles chart for five weeks, kept off the top by Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Timbaland's "The Way I Are".
A change of course
Nash wrote, recorded and shot a video for her punk song "Under-Estimate the Girl" in under 24 hours, then posted it free on her website. The track got mostly negative feedback, and Fiction Records dropped her in August 2012.
Behind the camera
Nash co-wrote "Poison" with Julia Michaels in writing rooms after signing a Warner Chappell Music publishing deal; the song later became a hit for Rita Ora.
Behind the camera
Nash set up Have 10p Records in April 2011, an extension of her performing arts trust fund; its first signee and release was Brigitte Aphrodite and her single "I Dream Myself Awake".
Behind the camera
Nash made the absurdist thriller Wild B*tch with Rebekka Johnson, her co-star from GLOW, and also supplied its music. It premiered at SXSW's Midnight Shorts Competition in March.
