Mini bio
How it started.
Amy grew up in north London with jazz in the family. She sang with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and a demo passed on by a friend helped her reach Island Records. Her debut Frank arrived in 2003, with Salaam Remi among its collaborators.
Finding her sound.
Back to Black followed in 2006, drawing on soul and 1960s girl groups. Working with Remi and Mark Ronson, Amy paired direct, personal songwriting with a voice rooted in jazz. “Rehab” helped the album reach a worldwide audience.
A voice fans keep returning to.
She won five Grammys in 2008, then earned a sixth posthumously for “Body and Soul” with Tony Bennett. Amy died on 23 July 2011. The recent releases and tributes here celebrate her archive and legacy; they are not new performances by Amy.
