Short Biography

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.
His big chance came when he attended a concert staged by 102.5 Clyde 1 for David Sneddon`s return to his home town of Paisley at the beginning of 2003. Sneddon was delayed, and as the winner of an impromptu pop quiz, Nutini was given the chance to perform a couple of songs on stage during the wait. The favourable reaction of the crowd impressed another member of the audience, who offered to become his manager.
Daily Record journalist John Dingwall saw him performing at the Queen Margaret Union, and invited him to appear live on BBC Radio Scotland. Only 17, Nutini moved to London and performed regularly at The Bedford pub in Balham while still legally too young to drink alcohol himself. Other radio and live appearances followed, including two live acoustic spots on Radio London, The Hard Rock Cafe, and support slots for Amy Winehouse and KT Tunstall.
