I’ve always written poetry but I didn’t realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That’s when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.

I don’t listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It’s all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You’d have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music – I couldn’t sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

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.
