Amy Jade Winehouse (Enfield, Londra, 14 settembre 1983 ? Londra, 23 luglio 2011) è stata una cantante e cantautrice britannica. Amy Jade Winehouse nasce il 14 settembre 1983 a Enfield, Middlesex, Inghilterra, in una famiglia ebraica di padre di origine russa, un tassista, e di madre infermiera. Cresce a Southgate, Londra dove frequenta la Ashmole School. All'età di dieci anni fonda un gruppo rap amatoriale chiamato Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. Lo descrive come la versione bianca ed ebraica delle Salt-n-Pepa. A dodici anni frequenta la Sylvia Young Theatre School, ma a tredici viene espulsa perché non si applica e a causa di un piercing al naso. In seguito frequenta la BRIT School a Selhurst, Croydon. Cresce ascoltando diversi tipi di musica (dalle Salt-n-Pepa a Sarah Vaughan) e riceve la sua prima chitarra a tredici anni. Inizia a cantare come professionista all'età di sedici anni, dopo che il suo amico e cantante soul Tyler James manda una sua demo ad un talent scout. Firma per la sua etichetta discografica attuale, la Island/Universal. Il suo album di debutto, Frank, viene pubblicato il 20 ottobre 2003. Viene prodotto principalmente da Salaam Remi, con molte influenze jazz e salvo due cover, ogni canzone è scritta (anche se non interamente) dalla Winehouse. L'album riceve critiche positive. La sua voce viene paragonata a quella di Sarah Vaughan e Macy Gray. L'album arriva ad alti livelli nelle classifiche inglesi quando nel 2004 viene nominato ai BRIT Awards nelle categorie British Female Solo Artist e British Urban Act. Riceve due dischi di platino e vende in totale 1 milione e mezzo di copie. In seguito, ancora nel 2004, vince l'Ivor Novello Award come Best Contemporary Song con il suo primo singolo Stronger Than Me. Frank figura anche nella lista del Mercury Prize. Dopo la pubblicazione, la cantante commenta di sentirsi soltanto per l'80% dietro l'album a causa dell'inclusione da parte della casa discografica di alcune canzoni che non le sono piaciute. Dopo la pubblicazione del suo secondo album afferma: non riesco neanche più ad ascoltarlo, Frank. Anzi, non sono mai riuscita ad ascoltarlo. Suonarlo dal vivo mi piace, ma ascoltarlo è un'altra cosa.
