Being labeled a "pop 'It Girl' with the power to unite demographic tribes like no one since The Streets or the Arctic Monkeys" by the UK newspaper The Observer, Lily Allen smoothly managed to gain wide recognition at such a very young age. Born Lily Rose Beatrice Allen on May 2, 1985 in Hammersmith, London she was the daughter of actor/comedian Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Grew up in Shepherds Bush and Bloomsbury before finally settled in the North London borough of Islington, her early life was an unusual one as she changed school for an incredible thirteen times which consequently gave her little chance to make lasting friendships for sure. This circumstance inevitably prompted the girl to find way in her attempt to entertain herself, and music delightfully appeared to be the primary answer as she then constantly spent time to listen to everything from T. Rex, The Specials, and The Slits to Happy Mondays and jungle music, commonly known as drum and bass.
