Music was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I’d done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn’t become a great singer.

About Amy Winehouse

Notable Works

Amy Winehouse was a phenomenally talented British singer and songwriter celebrated for her deep, expressive contralto vocals and her signature mix of soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Flaunting a bold, iconic 1960s beehive hairstyle and winged eyeliner, she became one of the most influential musical forces of the 2000s. Tragically, her immense artistic brilliance was cut short when she passed away at the age of 27, leaving behind a profound legacy that completely reshaped the landscape of modern pop and soul music.
