Amy Jade 1 Winehouse is an English singer and songwriter. She is known for her marvelous voice and controversial private life. She debuted 2 in 2003 at the age of 20 with the album ‘Frank’. It set her on the road to fame. Music lovers everywhere were excited about her talents and how her career would progress. Today she is one of music’s hottest stars.


She grew up in a family that loved jazz. Her musical talents were clear to see from a very young age. Aged 3 ten, she formed a rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour with a childhood friend. She got her first guitar when she was 13 and she began writing music. She signed to a major record label after they heard her distinctive 4 voice.


Winehouse’s second album “Back To Black” made her an acclaimed 5 international star. She won dozens of awards, including five at the 2008 Grammy’s. Some of the biggest names in rock are waiting to collaborate 6 with her. George Michael said: "Amy is the best female vocalist I have ever heard in my entire career, as well as one of the best writers."


Winehouse is constantly the focus of media attention. She cannot escape the reporters who follow her every move.  She has given them good reason to write about her. She battles with drug and alcohol abuse and her self destructive behaviour is often tabloid 7 news. Regardless, the world is holding its breath for her next recordings 8.
