Incredible Facts About The Brilliant Amy Winehouse

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.

Amy received a guitar at the age of Thirteen, which she fell in love with and it soon transformed her life. However, with it, she also gave up school a year later and landed in hot water for trying drugs. She did go on though to achieve success with the release of her first album Frank in 2003 and gaining an Ivor Novello Music award for one of her songs, in 2004.

The problem, being, that Amy grew tired of listening to the album as her bosses insisted on including some tracks that she disliked.

Later on Amy became influenced by the girls and women of the 1950's and 1960's, changing her hairstyle to suit, and forcing her to look in new musical directions.

After 18 months of nothing, Amy Winehouse got inspired after meeting Mark Ronson, and promptly wrote her second album, in just 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.

Amy has got what it takes to be a household name and a top class legend - if she can learn to control the drugs that is.
