Biography

Paolo Giovanni Nutini (born 23 January 1987) is a Scottish singer/songwriter from Paisley. Both his parents are Scottish, although his father is of Italian descent, from Barga, Tuscany, and his family has been in Scotland for four generations.

Nutini's debut album, These Streets, was released by Atlantic Records in the United Kingdom in July 2006 and included the singles "Last Request", "Jenny Don't Be Hasty", "Rewind" and "New Shoes", "Last Request" being the most successful, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. The album peaked at number three on the UK Album Chart and was certified 3× platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

In May 2009 Nutini released his second album, Sunny Side Up, which debuted at number one in the UK and has produced three singles; "Candy" "Coming Up Easy" and "Pencil Full of Lead". It has so far been certified platinum by the BPI.
