Amy Winehouse: In Her Words shines a spotlight on her incredible writing talent, her wit, her charm and lust for life. Curating Amy’s own never-before-seen journals, handwritten lyrics, and family photographs together for the first time, this intimate tribute traces her creative evolution growing up in North London to global superstardom, providing a rare insight into the girl who grew up to become a legend. Global icon. Six-time Grammy winner. Headline-maker. The most talented recording artist of her generation. Much has been said about Amy Winehouse since her tragic death at only twenty-seven. But who was the real Amy? Despite her phenomenal life being cut short in 2011, Winehouse has without a doubt changed the music industry and left a lasting legacy. Now in honor of her 40th birthday, her parents Janis and Mitch Winehouse have compiled never-before-seen photographs, lyrics, journal entries, and mementos that will show fans, music aficionados, and pop culture fanatics Winehouse’s incredible writing process and creative mind. Before her untimely death, Winehouse had written, collaborated on, and sung several chart-topping songs including “Valerie” and “Back to Black.” In 2008, she was nominated for 6 Grammys and won 5, including three of the “Big Four”: Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, making her the first British female to win 5 Grammys. She even won a posthumous Grammy in 2012 for her collaboration on the song “Body and Soul” with Tony Bennett.
