SJBaird
This amazingly talented vocalist, named Amy Winehouse was born in 1983 on September 14th. Born in Southgate in London she went on to develop talent that would enable her to do the things she loved the most - singing and songwriting. Check out these top facts.
She was born into a Jewish family(in Southgate, London), who ironically were all Jazz musicians, and this became her inspiration. At the age of just Ten she formed a rap band called Sweet n Sour with one of her best friends. Later on she went to a theatre school but somehow became involved in trouble, even piercing her nose! Then later on in 1997 she and her fellow students apeared on an episode of The Fast Show.
At Thirteen years of age she got her first guitar, got absorbed by it and dropped out of school a year later while writing music, and trying some drugs. She wrote her debut Album called "Frank" in October 2003 which received many positive reviews. During 2004 she won the Ivor Novello award for best contemporary song, as credit to her song entitled "stronger than me".
Unfortunately Amy grew tired of the album after the record producers included some songs she disliked.
In a shock twist to her Jazz influenced work, Amy added focus to her work based on the girls and women of the 1950's and 1960's.
Much later, Amy met Mark Ronson, who became a huge influence and inspiration in her life that, after 18 months of doing very little she turned things around and wrote her second album within 6 months.
Then Amy turned things round and went from strength to strength in her career - sadly though it was always marred by news of her private life and drug issues in 2007 and 2008.
Her second album went 5x platinum, doing incredibly well, but the drug misuse was starting to take over her life and various videos of her taking cocaine were found online.
With a career which still has chance to glow over the next 10 or 20 years, Amy Winehouse has got what it takes to become a legend.
Amy Winehouse has gained massive publicity for her raw talent as well as her personal life.
