Estroversie rebels
May 2, 1985 Daughter of comic actor Keith Allen and Alison Owen, film producer, had as Godfather the late Clash singer Joe Strummer. Lily Rose Beatrice Allen-born the day May 2, 1985 in London in the Borough of Hammersmith-had an eventful childhood. Busy especially from transfers made by parents separated when he was four years old. The temperament of the young Lily manifests early: between five and fourteen years he attended thirteen schools, including the private school of "Hill House", famous for being among the five most expensive private schools in Britain. Just fourteen runs away from home to Glastonbury music festival, and at fifteen leaves permanently. Begins knocking on the doors of record companies at the age of 16 years. The first contract came in 2002, with Warner, which pushes in one direction though folk. On the Spanish island of Ibiza meets George Lamb, British talent scout known that presents musicians and music producers of the group "Future Cut, who will become the authors of the music of most of the songs from her first album. In 2005 he signed with Regal, a label of Parlophone, and, frustrated by the slowness of the record industry, he began posting demos on the internet on his MySpace page. Meanwhile, a series of live appearances at club Yo-Yo of Notting Hill in the spring of 2006 stimulate the curiosity of the public and the press. Debuted on the pop scene with the single "Smile" that takes top spot on the uk charts in July 2006. The notoriety and fame explode literally so Lily finds walkways and new stages to show his temper vulvanico. Controversial, contradictory, nasty, satirical, charming, naughty, petulant, pungent, sexy, desperate ... you do not count the titles attributed to Lily Allen. When he released the debut album "Alright, Still," his public persona is already solid and well marked. The disc gets to sell 2 million copies, breaking into the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 in America. Meanwhile, a Duet with Robbie Williams, Dizzee Rascal and Basement Jaxx, among others, and sings unexpected cover, like "Oh My God" by Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks, The Pretenders and Blondie, also offering a mocking version of 50 Cent's "Window Shopper". The other side of the coin of reputation are the fierce criticism that Lily Allen received on tabloids and gossip sites, because of his behaviour. He quarrelled with fellow popstar, offended and run over paparazzi, his private life became public, and a series of personal traumas have threatened to overwhelm you. Lily Allen's second album, "It's Not Me, It's You", written and recorded exclusively by her and Greg Kurstin, was born in a small rented house in the Cotswolds in the fall of 2007, where the couple had retreated to work. After a week and a half had six songs and a new sound, more mature. The disc was released in February of 2009: the album and the lead single "The Fear", reaching the top position in the British charts.
