Hailing from England, Winehouse masters an array of musical genres with the distinctive sultry and soulful vocals that have garnered her international success and acclaim. Her 2006 album, "Back to Black," was nominated for six Grammys - and she took home five - becoming the first British singer to win five Grammys and tying the record for most wins by a female artist in a single night.

In addition, Winehouse won a BRIT Award for "Best British Female Artist" in 2007 and has also won the Ivor Novello Award three times for songwriting and composing.
