Amy Winehouse Biography:
Amy Jade Winehouse was born 14 September 1983 in Southgate, London, England. She is an English singer-songwriter, known for her powerful contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of various musical genres including R&B, soul, and jazz and one of the U.K.'s flagship vocalists during the 2000s.
Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank was commercially and critically successful in her native Britain, and 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, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album….
Winehouse has been credited as being an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and soul music and revitalising British music.

The singer's problems with drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self-destructive behaviour, have become regular tabloid news since 2007.
