Singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini has got the looks of a model and the voice of an old soak. At just 19, he's signed to Atlantic Records and just released his debut album, These Streets, with the help of Coldplay producer Ken Nelson.

He has supported Amy Winehouse, played alongside KT Tunstall and has been tipped for great things by Ahmet Ertegun, head of Atlantic Records and the man who discovered Ray Charles and Led Zeppelin.

So you can pretty much assume Nutini is no flash-in-the-pan popstar - so long as he doesn't have the same effect as his labelmate James Blunt.

"People are like, 'You're a singersongwriter on Atlantic Records so you're the new James Blunt,' " says Nutini.

"I gave his a record a chance. I gave it a listen and I still didn't like it, there just wasn't anything there for me. That's not to say he's doing his thing and he's been very successful and he's worked hard so good luck to him."

While Blunt isn't his bag, the teenager from Paisley in Scotland, who cut his teeth in the music industry being a roadie for Speedway and working in Glasgow's famous Park Lane Studio, says it's all about the vocals for him.

"I don't know if it's a hindrance or a good thing but I've never had one direct influence," he says.

"It's more like someone's voice, for instance Ray Charles and John Martyn. When I hear those voices, they inspire me just to make music."

Mixing influences from The White Stripes to Ray Charles, Nutini, who used to work in his dad's fish and chip shop, says it was his grandfather's collection of Scottish folk songs which first inspired him to make music.

His self-penned debut is a bittersweet collection of songs wrapped in soulful, acoustic, rock music, which Nutini describes as "chilled out music you can smoke a spliff to, and some music you can dance to"
