Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra and the sounds of these men’s music
filled the house as Amy grew up. (Newkey-Burden 2009) This music
was a favourite of Amy’s father Mitch. Sinatra would inspire the title of
her debut album ‘Frank’.
When she was 14 she would hear Thelonis Monk, Dinah Washington,
Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald and attributes this to her learning
how to sing.
Amy says ‘My First real role models were Salt-N-Pepa. They were real
women who weren’t afraid to talk about men.’(Newkey-Burden 2009)
Her tumultuous romances, none more fevered than her on-again, off
again relationship with Blake Fielder- Civil inspired her song
writing.(Wallenfeldt 2013)
