Who Is Amy Winehouse

Amy is really an extraordinary woman, an extraordinary artist. She didn’t hesitate to raise the problem of alcohol, by saying, “I am exactly like my last name.” With the passion she calls ‘love’, she is even more attached to alcohol and drugs. When she realized that the real addiction was ‘Blake’, it was probably too late.

Amy Winehouse! She’s the diva of soul music! She is an artist, kneaded with jazz in her dough. She is the rebellious queen of jazz! A name that is shown, among those who revive again British music! With her peculiar style, she is a woman, an inspiration for even fashion designers like Karl Lagerfeld!

… And many more things maybe; but if we look at the first “snap” sound of the disappointment within us, Amy is a girl who misses her father and falls in love with him. Moreover, although they are very close to him. I wrote today trying to understand her. In each scandal, I was angry with her and part of me understood her. This is a strange balance! I hope you read her on the side that, is close to understanding…

With love …

Her childhood

When Amy was born on September 14, 1983, in London as the second child of Janis Seaton and Mitch Winehouse, her family named her “Amy Jade.” Their ancestors were Russian and Polish Jewish immigrants settled in London. Amy’s mother, who also has an older brother named Alex, was a pharmacist and her father was a taxi driver.

She spent her childhood in the suburban area of Southgate. There were many jazz musicians in her family, especially among her mother’s relatives. Her grandmother, Cynthia Winehouse, was also a singer. Even her mother Janis, who was next to her, was also an amateur jazz singer, although she was actually a pharmacist. Her father always sang Frank Sinatra songs to her. Music was an ordinary incident in her family, and Amy was to knead with jazz…

Amy became a member of "Forever 27 Club" as one of the legendary names who died at the age of 27, just like Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrisson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendric. Now this group is 39 people.
Amy Winehouse youth (9 years old)

When she was 9 years old, she suffered the most pain first trauma of her life. Amy was 9 years old when her mother and father divorced. When her father left the house and left, Amy, as a girl in love with her father, raised herself next age, with a great hunger for her father’s love. After this her life could be described as being dragged down a cliff, and that was the first day on top of that cliff. At a time when she was dragging her life with alcohol and drug addiction, in an interview asked to her: “Why are you hurting yourself? Why are you doing this?” Her answer to the question was like a reflection of the lack of father in her heart:

“I am doing it for my father to tell me not to do it.”

Her education life

Amy went to Osidge Primary School in the Sothgate district. In her childhood, she continued to the Jewish Sunday School.

In her family separation process, Amy started spending more time with her grandmother. This breaking point in Amy’s life, was also same time a turning point.

At her suggestion, at the age of 10, she started Susi Earnshow Theater School, which gives education for 4 years…

It isn’t difficult to guess, of course; Amy had never been a student with the required criteria. Although she was very talented, she was a child who always escaped from school with her bored temperament and preferred to be alone.

In 1997, she performed here in an episode of The Fast Show. However, she was expelled from the school at the age of 13, because of the piercing she had made in her nose and her behavior incompatible with the school. Next to her piercing, after the first Betty Boop tattoo she had done on a little over her hip, she would have 13 more tattoos over time. She later studied at The Mount School, Mill Hill, BRIT School, Southgate School and Ashmole Schooll.

As the school continued somehow, Amy formed a rap group with her childhood friend, Juliette Ashby, called “Sweet’n Sour.” They were only 10 years old yet, and their group wasn’t take long.

In her another statement, she was more optimistic: “Now, ‘Frank’ sounds very different in my ear. I’m still proud of with it, I still think it’s a beautiful album, but if I had my experience and perspective today, ‘Frank’ would be a completely different album.”
