Biography
Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983) is an English singer and songwriter,
known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including R&B, soul, jazz,
rock & roll, and ska. Winehouse is best known for her soulful, powerful
contralto vocals.
Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank was commercially and critically successful in
her native Britain. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up
album Back to Black led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the
record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made
Winehouse the first British singer to win five Grammys. Winehouse has been
credited as being an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and
soul music.
Winehouse has received media attention apart from her singing. Her distinctive
style has been the muse for fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld. The
singer's problems with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as self-destructive
behaviour, have become regular tabloid news since 2007. She and her former
husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were plagued by legal troubles that left him
serving prison time. In 2008, Winehouse faced a series of health complications
that threatened both her career and her life.
