Biography
Able to create distinguishable music which is perceived to be the perfect fusion of traditional and modern influences, Amy Jade Winehouse was born to a taxi-driving father named Mitchell and pharmacist mother named Janis on September 14, 1983 in Camden, London, England. She spent most her early years in the suburb of Southgate, North London where she attended Ashmole School. The niece of professional jazz musicians from her mother's side, music surely was never an alien thing to the girl. She grew up listening to a diverse tunes ranging from Sarah Vaughn to Salt-N-Pepa. At age ten, she even confidently formed a short-lived amateur rap group named Sweet 'n' Sour in which she used the latter moniker during the troupe's existence.
