BIOGRAPHY
Louise was born on 4 November 1974 in Lewisham, London. Her full name is
Louise Elizabeth Nurding, but after marrying long-time friend and football star Jamie
Redknapp she took his surname.
Louise started her music career very early. While she was still a teen, Louise was
spotted dancing in a club by her future manager Denis. He was looking for girls
to be a part of new girl group. Louise introduced her school friend Kelle Bryan
to Denis and she got into group as well. At the same time Denis met Vernie Bennett,
who later called her sister Easther to join the group too. Not long after, the
group Eternal was born. Eternal was, and still is, the greatest girl
group in Europe since 5 Star. Even though those of us in the States have
barely heard of either of them. While the group was the most
successful while Louise was still with them, near the end of 1995
she decided that she wanted to move on. Citing the desire to sing and produce
different kinds of music, Louise left Eternal to begin a solo career.
Happily, she never had a falling out with her fellow
members Kelle, Vernie and Easther, and they are all still good friends today.
It wasn't long before Louise became the most successful female artist in Europe,
mostly in the UK. She has had 3 solo-albums thus far and they have all been very
successful. Lou was voted the "sexiest woman in world" by the men's magazine
FHM and every year still scores high in the
FHM charts. (The webmaster is proud to have voted for her the last several years
running).
Oddly, the biggest media problem for Louise is that she just isn't very controversial.
Intrinsically a good girl, she hasn't had a huge series of boyfriends, seems
indifferent to the press and media attention she gets, and is genuinely a
nice person! As a result, the only major publicity that she got in the interim
period was from the FHM Top 100 Sexiest Women poll and her marriage to
footballer Jamie Redknapp.
In a relatively quiet affair on a yacht in Bermuda with friends and
family present, they made their vows and their marriage has been as steady as a
rock. The only controversy came when some sections of the media claimed that her
father-in-law, Harry Redknapp, had said that he thought Louise should spend all
her time at home and in the kitchen and not pursuing a career of her own.
However this quickly blew over. She re-entered the music scene with
a bang thanks to her Changing Faces tour in early 2002.
She was prepared for a life of a star from her early age. Louise was a member of
Italia Conti Stage School. Her favourite celebrity is Stevie Wonder and her favourite
football team is Liverpool FC--with whom her husband plays. She loves sweets and
her favourite foods are generally Italian. Her favourite TV programs are
the very British "Absolutely Fabulous" and the amazingly popular "Eastenders".
Lou's favourite actor is fellow Brit Ewan McGregor. And her most beloved expression is:
"Live each day like it's your last".
