Profile of a band


Amy Jade Winehouse was formed in Britain when she was 16 years old, because Tyler James, Amy’s friend, introduced her in the world music. She’s a singer and a composer. Amy’s lyrics are written by her.
A lot of Amy’s songs talk about her problems with drugs, for example: Rehab, Addicted…

Frank is the first album that Amy Winehouse released in 2003; it has sold more than 1.500.000 copies. Her second album, Back To Black, became her first bestseller in 2008. It has sold more than ten million copies.

Amy Winehouse plays soul music. Some of her best-known songs are Stronger Than me, Rehab and Back To Black. Winehouse has won a lot of prizes for her music. In February in 2008 Amy Winehouse honoured with 5 of the US Recording Academy’s most prestigious awards: Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best New Artist, Song of the Year (Rehab) and Record of the Year (Rehab) at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. This incredible haul makes Amy the first ever British female artist to win 5 Grammys in one night.
