Early life
Lott was born in Bromley and initially lived in Petts Wood and then Bickley, all suburban areas of London.[5][6] Lott was born several months premature,[7] and her mother gave her the nickname Pixie because she was "such a tiny, cute baby who looked like a fairy".[8] She started singing in her church school[8] and when she was five she attended the Italia Conti Associates Saturday school in Chislehurst. She went on to attend the main school – Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts – at 11, where she was awarded a scholarship.[9]
At the age of 13, Lott moved with her family to Brentwood.[10] During her time as a student she appeared in the West End production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium, and in BBC One's Celebrate the Sound of Music in 2005, aged 14,[11] as Louisa von Trapp.[3] At the age of 14, she was part of the chorus, recording vocals on Roger Waters's opera Ça Ira.[9] Despite missing school time because she was recording her album, Lott says she received straight 'A' grades in her GCSEs.[12]
