Louise Elizabeth Nerding now Louise Redknapp was born on 4th November 1974.

Louise was born in Surrey but spent her time growing up in and around East Grinstead. Louise attended Imberhorne school.

Louise started her career with well known girl band Eternal. They had 6 top 20 hits and a platinum album "Always & Forever."

Although she left Eternal, she has not gone unnoticed. She won fans with her looks, personality and, more importantly, her singing and dancing skills, which were honored at the Italia Conti stage school. Although no longer with Eternal, she still has the same management, First Avenue, and is still signed to EMI.

Since starting her solo career aged 20, Louise has released 4 Albums with one on the way which is due for release in September 2004.
Her first singles were 'Light of My Life' and 'In Walked Love', both of which did well. Following the encouragement from the release of these, Louise went on to produce a very popular album in 'Naked', which produced a top 5 single and several other successful songs. She performed 'Naked' On Top of the Pops in a blue rubber outfit, and then appeared on the cover of Sky magazine in their 'Naked issue'. This suggested to many at the time that people were more interested in her for her looks rather than her music. However, her successful second solo album dispelled these thoughts and she is now well established as a successful artist.
