Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was a British singer, songwriter, musician and businesswoman. She is known for her distinctive contralto vocals, expressive and autobiographical songwriting, and eclectic blend of genres such as soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Her music, along with her fashion and highly publicised personal life, made her an influential figure in popular culture. Born to a Jewish family in Enfield, London, Winehouse grew up in a jazz‑influenced household. She was a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra in her youth, recording several songs before signing a publishing deal with EMI. After a friend passed her demo to a music executive, Winehouse signed with Island Records in 2002. She worked with producer Salaam Remi for her debut studio album, Frank (2003), which was commercially successful in the UK and drew critical acclaim for its mature songwriting and jazz‑imbued production. Its lead single, “Stronger Than Me”, earned the singer an Ivor Novello Award. Inspired by 1960s girl groups and soul music, Winehouse recorded her second studio album, Back to Black (2006), with Remi, the Dap‑Kings and producer Mark Ronson.
