Born into a musical family in Dublin, Audrey Nugent is the youngest of seven and the daughter of an artist mother and a musician father. The Nugents were well-known for their sing-songs and grew up performing a la Osmonds.
But alas, having constantly been forced to sing in the style of a soprano on helium in her secondary school choir, Audrey briefly fell out of love with music and into the worlds of fashion and drama. She studied at the Gaeity School of Acting for a while (in the same class as singer/songwriter Damien Rice incidentally) in order to find a new way to express her creativity but couldn't ignore the music going on in her head.
And so, having found her way back to it, she picked up her guitar and made her debut at the Heineken Green NRG festival in Dublin. Her first demo was picked up by an independent label in London with whom she later signed as part of a three-piece. She soon found herself supporting the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and bizarrely enough, sandwiched between Alanis Morisette and Tricky at the Montreaux Jazz Festival.
Having found her freedom earlier last year, Audrey is writing and recording her debut solo album in London, & has co-written songs with Carrie/Little Hell's Steve Ludwin(Girl on Fire), Ash's Tim Wheeler(Radio) & Coldplay's Chris Martin(Everytime I Do). She has also spent time recording at Rockfield Studios in Wales, played at various well-known venues around London and sung with Kt Tunstall.
As of 2010, Audrey and her old bandmate Amy Belle have been writing new material. They go under the name 'Dolls' and are really rather good together.
