Amy Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter who died on July 23, 2011.
She was recognized for her deep, expressive contralto vocals as well as her varied musical tastes, which included soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz.
Who is Amy Winehouse sister?
Winehouse, who died aged 27, was not survived by a sister. The only sibling she left behind was an older brother, Alex.
In 2002, Winehouse signed with Simon Fuller’s 19 Management and was paid £250 per week against future revenues.
Winehouse was kept a music industry secret while she was being cultivated by management. Darcus Beese, her future A&R representative at Island, first heard of her when his manager showed him some productions of his clients that featured Winehouse as a main vocalist.
When Beese first heard about Amy Winehouse, he asked her manager who she was and was told he couldn’t tell him.
Beese had to inquire around for months before he found out who the vocalist was. By this point, she had already recorded a handful of songs and had secured a publishing deal with EMI.
They later got together in the long run and recorded most of her hits.
