Coyle came to prominence in 2001 after becoming a member of pop group Six on the Irish version of the reality television programme Popstars series. It was discovered that Coyle had lied about her age, resulting in the loss of her place in the band. She auditioned for the Britain's Popstars: The Rivals and rose to fame after winning a place in girl group Girls Aloud. The group was one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, amassing a joint fortune of £25 million by May 2009. With Girls Aloud, Coyle has been successful in achieving a string of 20 consecutive UK top ten singles (including four number ones), two UK number one albums, and received nominations for five BRIT Awards, winning Best Single in 2009 for "The Promise". Girls Aloud announced that they would partake in a hiatus to pursue solo projects.

During Girls Aloud's hiatus, Coyle has been working on solo material. Her debut album Insatiable and its title track will be released in November 2010 through her own label, Black Pen Records in partnership with Tesco.

Nadine Coyle has received tabloid attention for her relationships with Northern Irish footballer Neil McCafferty, American actor Jesse Metcalfe, and American football cornerback Jason Bell, to whom she is engaged. She currently resides in Los Angeles, where she owns a pub.

Life and career

1985-2001: Early life and Irish Popstars

Nadine Coyle was born in Derry, Northern Ireland on 15 June 1985 to Lillian and Niall Coyle.[2][3] Her parents first noticed her talent for singing at the age of two, when she sang The Drifters' "Saturday Night at the Movies."[3] Coyle was uninterested in her education but received good grades.[3] She recorded a demo CD,[3] which was distributed to Louis Walsh and The Late Late Show. The CD included cover versions of "Fields of Gold", "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Love Is", and the aria "Summertime".[4]

In 2001, while attenting Thornhill College, Coyle auditioned for the Irish version of the reality television talent show Popstars, on which Walsh was a judge. She won a place in the band Six; however, it was revealed that Coyle had lied about her age.[2] She was just 16 years old, two years younger than the minimum age requirement of 18.[5] Coyle said she was "exploited" by RTÉ.[6] She returned to Thornhill College in Derry. She later revealed how she had a cancer scare when she found a lump in her breast when she was 17.[7] Coyle dated her high school boyfriend, Irish footballer Neil McCafferty, until they broke up in 2003.[8]

2002-ongoing: Girls Aloud

Louis Walsh encouraged Nadine to enter Popstars The Rivals, the second British series of the international Popstars franchise. The series' goal was to create two winning pop groups - a boy band and a girl group, each consisting of five members who would then partake in "a battle of the sexes" as they vie for the Christmas number one on the UK Singles Chart.[9] Several thousand applicants attended auditions across the UK in hope of being selected. Ten girls and ten boys were chosen as finalists by judges Walsh, Pete Waterman, and Geri Halliwell. These finalists then took to the stage participating in weekly Saturday night live performances (alternating weekly between the girls and boys). Following her performance of "Fields of Gold", Walsh told her she gave the "performance of the night. Stole the show for me," while fellow judge Halliwell said, "I'd love to buy a single of yours already".[10] Each week the contestant polling the fewest phone votes was eliminated, until the final line-ups of the groups emerged.

Coyle joined Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh to comprise the new girl group Girls Aloud, formed through the show by a public vote on 30 November 2002.[11] The group's debut single "Sound of the Underground" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the 2002 Christmas number one.[12] Girls Aloud hold the record for the shortest time between formation and reaching number one.[13] The group released their debut album. Sound of the Underground in May 2003,[14] which entered the charts at number two and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry later the same year.[15] Since 2003, Girls Aloud have released twenty additional singles, with all but one charting within the top ten, and fifteen reaching the top five. Their singles "I'll Stand by You", "Walk This Way", and "The Promise" have charted at number one. Two of their albums have reached the top of the UK Album Chart; their greatest hits album The Sound of Girls Aloud and 2008's Out of Control, both of which entered the chart at number one, with over one million copies of the former being sold.[16] All their albums are certified platinum.[15] They have been nominated for five BRIT Awards, and in 2009 won Best British Single at that year's BRIT Awards for "The Promise".[17]

Girls Aloud have become one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, and had amassed a fortune of £30 million by May 2010.[18] The 2007 edition of Guinness World Records listed them as "Most Successful Reality TV Group", while they also hold the record for "Most Consecutive Top Ten Entries in the UK by a Female Group" in the 2008 edition. Working closely with Xenomania since the start of their careers, the group's innovative approach to mainstream pop music has earned them critical acclaim.[19][20][21] The group has sold ten million records worldwide.[22]

In 2009, Girls Aloud decided they would partake in a hiatus to pursue solo projects.[23]

2010-present: Solo career and engagement

Nadine Coyle after show in 2009

Nadine Coyle announced plans to release a solo album during Girls Aloud's hiatus.[24][25][26] She enlisted Barbara Charone, who was worked with Madonna and Christina Aguilera, as a publicist and Bruce Garfield as her manager.[27][28][29] Despite early reports indicating three major record labels interested in Nadine,[30] it was reported that Coyle had failed to earn a solo record deal, even being turned down by Girls Aloud's label Polydor Records.[31] In April 2010, it was reported she had signed to Geffen Records.[32] The deal later fell through.[33] In August 2010, Coyle officially signed a deal with grocery store chain Tesco's new record label, releasing the album through her own Black Pen Records imprint.[33][34][35]

In September 2010, Coyle announced the release of her debut album Insatiable on 8 November.[35][36] Coyle worked with a number of famous songwriters and producers during recording sessions, such as Desmond Child, Guy Chambers, Mike Elizondo, Steve Booker, Toby Gad, Tony Kanal and newcomer Ricci Riccardi.[25][28][29][37] Nadine also worked with Lucie Silvas, Matchbox Twenty's Kyle Cook, William Orbit, and Tiesto.[34][38][39] According to an interview with Booker, Coyle had worked on song ideas using GarageBand which she then presented to Booker in England to work on together further.[40] The producer said, "She was singing her songs to loops, and then I took the loops out and rewrote the music from scratch to her ideas."[40] He described her songs as "very pop".[40] Booker also worked on songs to show off Coyle's vocals: "Because she’s got such a belting voice, I tried a couple of things where she could really belt," he said.[40] The album will be released on 8 November.[41]

The album was preceded by the release of her debut single, the title track "Insatiable". Co-written with Guy Chambers and produced by Ricci Riccardi, the song is said to have an "80s feel" and "a harder, guitar-led sound."[42][43] On 29 October 2010, Coyle performed "Insatiable" for the first time live on the ITV television show Paul O'Grady Live.

In September 2010, Coyle announced she was engaged to her boyfriend of two years, American football player Jason Bell.[44]

Other projects

As a member of Girls Aloud, Coyle has also appeared in the fly on the wall documentary Girls Aloud: Home Truths, the E4 documentary series Girls Aloud: Off the Record, and a one-off variety show entitled The Girls Aloud Party. Nadine has expressed interest in an acting career,[45] following Girls Aloud's cameo appearance as schoolgirls in the film St. Trinian's and Coyle's appearance on Keith Barry's show The Great Escape, which aired on ITV on 29 December 2007.[46] Coyle made a cameo appearance in Natasha Bedingfield's video for "I Wanna Have Your Babies".[47]

Coyle contributed to the book Dreams that Glitter - Our Story, an autobiography with her Girls Aloud bandmates, in October 2008. The book was written with a ghostwriter and published by the Transworld imprint Bantam Press.[48][49] The book featured unseen photographs and included insights into the members' personal lives, their success together, style tips, and "everything we've learned about life, love and music."[49][50] The book was previewed and serialised by OK! prior to its release. Girls Aloud held a book signing at Waterstone's in Piccadilly, London to promote the release.[51] The title Dreams that Glitter comes from a line in the group's 2007 single "Call the Shots".

In March 2010, Coyle made her first solo appearance, singing "Love Me for a Reason" with Boyzone on a televised tribute to the late Stephen Gately.[52] She collaborated with Boyz II Men for their album Love, recording a cover of the Take That song "Back for Good".[53] The song did not appear on the album in the end. Coyle also worked with Jay Sean,[54] although the duet was later scrapped.[55]

She was reportedly approached by Gillette to advertise their female range of razors.[56] As a member of Girls Aloud, Coyle has also endorsed Barbie, KitKat, Nintendo DS, Samsung, and Sunsilk.[57][58][59]

Nadine owns a pub named Nadine's Irish Mist in Los Angeles. In December 2009, Coyle visited her hometown of Derry to successfully break the record of the most trees planted in one site in an hour by 100 volunteers.[citation needed] Her boyfriend Jason Bell accompanied her. Nadine has also dedicated some of her time to charities, including the Northern Ireland children’s hospice.[citation needed]
