L. A. Reid heard one of her demos and signed her to the Island Def Jam Music Group when she was fifteen, but after a change of managers a bidding war ensued, resulting in her now being signed to Mercury Records in the UK and to Interscope Records in the U.S.
This is the story of how we came to know Pixie Lott.
Victoria Louise Lott, known professionally as Pixie Lott, is a Brit Award nominated, English artist signed to Mercury Records in the UK and Interscope Records in the U.S. Her debut single "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)" was released in 2009 and went straight to number one in the UK Singles Chart. Lott's follow-up single "Boys and Girls", also topped the UK charts in late 2009. Her debut album Turn It Up was released in September 2009 and is officially certified platinum.
Lott played her first festival concert in the Big Top at the Isle of Wight Festival 2009, during her first full British tour, where she supported The Saturdays on The Work Tour.
She released her debut single, "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)", on 8 June 2009. The video, directed by Trudy Bellinger, was released to MySpace in Lott's news section and has gained in excess of two million views on YouTube. It entered both the iTunes chart and UK Singles Chart at number one, after over 50,000 sales. Lott was quoted as being shocked at the success of the single. The song was also recorded in Simlish for Electronic Arts' The Sims 3. It spent one week at number one, eleven weeks within the top forty and eighteen weeks within the top seventy five.[10] The single also had considerable success outside the UK, reaching the top forty in eleven other countries, including top ten peaks of number eight in Denmark and number ten in France. The single was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry on 28 August 2009 after selling over 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.
Lott's second lead single "Boys and Girls" was released on 6 September 2009 and topped the UK Singles Chart on 13 September 2009. During the week in which it reached number one, the single sold just under 50,000 copies. It has so far spent nine consecutive weeks within the top seventy-five and eight consecutive weeks within the top forty of the UK Singles Chart. The single has been accompanied by a music video and was directed by Diane Martel.
On 14 September 2009, Lott's debut album, Turn It Up was released. The album debuted at number six on the UK Album Chart. The album has so far sold over 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry in October 2009.
Pixie's third single from the album was confirmed as "Cry Me Out" upon the release of the previous single and the single was later confirmed for physical release on 23 November 2009. The music video was directed by Jake Nava (director of recent videos for Beyoncé, Leona Lewis and Shakira) and was shot in Cuba.
Pixie Lott won two MTV EMA Awards MTV Europe Music Awards 2009, Best UK & Ireland Act and Best Push Artist (best break through artist).
"The Way The World Works", from Lott's debut record was used in the U.S.-produced medical drama "Private Practice".
Pixie was chosen as the face of Nokia's "Illuvial Pink Collection" mobile phone range, saying "I spend loads of time on my mobile, so it's important to me that it looks good. The phones in the range all look fab – they're stylish and yet still girlie".
