After toying around with her brother Alex's guitar, Winehouse bought her own guitar when she was 14 and began writing music shortly afterwards. Soon after, she began working for a living as an entertainment journalist for the World Entertainment News Network and also singing with local group the Bolsha Band.{{cite web|title= Amy Winehouse – Interview|url= http://www.accessallareas.net.au/artists/Amy_Winehouse.php|website=www.accessallareas.net.au|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080215071733/http://www.accessallareas.net.au/artists/Amy_Winehouse.php|url-status= dead|archive-date= 15 February 2008|access-date= 29 July 2024}} In July 2000, she became the featured female vocalist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. At home she learned from and practised singing songs by Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan and Minnie Riperton—singers who she said "will get under the song" and remake it as their own rather than sing it straight as written. Winehouse's best friend, soul singer Tyler James, sent her demo tape to an A&R scout.

Winehouse was signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and was initially paid £250 a week against future earnings.{{sfn|Winehouse|2012|p=34}} While being developed by the management company, Winehouse was kept as a recording industry secret,{{cite web|first= Kimbel |last= Bouwman |title= Interview with Darcus Beese, A&R at Island for Amy Winehouse, Sugababes |date= 23 February 2004 |publisher= HitQuarters |url= http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview%2Fopar%2Fintrview_Darcus_Beese_int.html |archive-date= 23 January 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120123121840/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview%2Fopar%2Fintrview_Darcus_Beese_int.html}} although she was a regular jazz standards singer at the Cobden Club.{{sfn|Winehouse|2012|p=34}} Her future A&R representative at Island, Darcus Beese, heard of her by chance when the manager of the Lewinson Brothers showed him some productions of his clients, which featured Winehouse as key vocalist. When he asked who the singer was, the manager told him he was not allowed to say. Having decided that he wanted to sign her, it took several months of asking around for Beese to eventually discover who the singer was. However, by that time Winehouse had already recorded a number of songs, signed a publishing deal with EMI, and formed a working relationship with producer Salaam Remi.

Beese introduced Winehouse to his boss, Island head Nick Gatfield, who shared his enthusiasm in signing the young artist. Winehouse was signed to Island while rival interest in her had started to build with representatives of EMI and Virgin Records starting to make moves. Beese told HitQuarters that he felt the excitement over an artist who was an atypical pop star for the time was due to a backlash against reality TV music shows, whose audiences starved for fresh, genuine young talent.

Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released on 20 October 2003. Produced mainly by Salaam Remi, many of the songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, Winehouse co-wrote every song. The album received wide critical acclaim with compliments given to the "cool, critical gaze" in its lyrics.{{cite news|first= Beccy |last= Lindon |date= 16 October 2003 |title= Amy Winehouse, Frank |newspaper= The Guardian |url= https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/oct/17/jazz.shopping1 |archive-date= 20 September 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130920100835/http://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/oct/17/jazz.shopping1}}{{Cite web|title=Amy Winehouse – Frank |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/frank-mw0000466868|website=AllMusic|last=Bush |first=John|archive-date=27 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427095032/http://www.allmusic.com/album/frank-mw0000466868 |url-status=live|access-date=4 November 2006}} Winehouse's voice was compared with those of Sarah Vaughan and Macy Gray, among others.{{cite web|title= Amy Winehouse Frank Review |publisher= BBC Music |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/gh9x|first= Greg|last= Boraman|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100421185900/http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/gh9x|archive-date= 21 April 2010|date= 27 November 2003}}

In the same year, she performed at the Glastonbury Festival (on the Jazz World stage), the V Festival and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. After the release of the album, Winehouse commented that she was "only 80 percent behind [the] album" because Island Records had overruled her preferences for the songs and mixes to be included. The further singles from the album were "Take the Box", "In My Bed"/"You Sent Me Flying" and "Pumps"/"Help Yourself".{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}

After the release of her first jazz-influenced album, Winehouse's focus shifted to the girl groups of the 1950s and 1960s. Winehouse hired New York singer Sharon Jones's longtime band, the Dap-Kings, to back her up in the studio and on tour.{{cite news|first= Ben|last= Sisario|title= She's Not Anybody's Backup Act|newspaper= The New York Times|url= https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/29/arts/music/29jone.html|date= 29 September 2007|archive-date= 5 June 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150605113751/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/29/arts/music/29jone.html|url-status= live|access-date= 13 December 2007}} Mitch Winehouse relates in Amy, My Daughter how fascinating watching her process was: her perfectionism in the studio and how she would put what she had sung on a CD and play it in his taxi outside to know how most people would hear her music.{{sfn|Winehouse|2012|p=71}} In May 2006, Winehouse's demo tracks such as "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" appeared on Mark Ronson's New York City radio show on East Village Radio. These were some of the first new songs played on the radio after the release of "Pumps" and both were slated to appear on her second album. The 11-track album, completed in five months,{{sfn|Winehouse|2012|p=71}} was produced entirely by Salaam Remi and Ronson, with the production credits being split between them. Ronson said in a 2010 interview that he liked working with Winehouse because she was blunt when she did not like his work.{{cite news|first= Alexandra |last= Topping |date= 8 June 2010 |title= Mark Ronson gets all new romantic with Duran Duran |newspaper= The Guardian |url= https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jun/08/mark-ronson-duran-duran |archive-date= 31 October 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131031062721/http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jun/08/mark-ronson-duran-duran}} She in turn thought that when they first met, he was a sound engineer and that she was expecting an older man with a beard.{{sfn|Winehouse|2012|p=68}}

While performing in Florianópolis, Winehouse forgot the lyrics of her songs several times and had to be aided by the public and her band.

The New York Times style reporter, Guy Trebay, discussed the multiplicity of influences on Winehouse's style after her death. Trebay noted, "her stylish husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, may have influenced her look." Additionally, Trebay observed:

{{Blockquote|She was a 5-foot-3 almanac of visual reference, most famously to Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes, but also to the white British soul singer Mari Wilson, less famous for her sound than her beehive; to the punk god Johnny Thunders...; to the fierce council-house chicks...

Former Rolling Stone editor Joe Levy, who had put her on the magazine's cover, broke her look down this way:

{{blockquote|Just as her best music drew on sampling – assembling sonic licks and stylistic fragments borrowed from Motown, Stax, punk and early hip-hop – her personal style was also a knowing collage. There was a certain moment in the '90s when, if you were headed downtown and turned left, every girl looked like Bettie Page. But they did not do what Winehouse did, mixing Bettie Page with Brigitte Bardot and adding that little bit of Ronnie Spector.}}

It's not about lighting candles and saying a bracha." Winehouse also frequently performed with a Star of David medallion.

In 2013, in memory of Winehouse, the Jewish Museum London ran an exhibition titled "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait". The museum researched her paternal great-great-grandfather's arrival from Minsk in 1890, and how the family finally settled in London, starting out in working-class jobs before gradually moving to middle-class jobs.

Winehouse had 14 known tattoos, including "Daddy's Girl" on her left arm for her father and a pin-up girl with the name "Cynthia" on her right arm in memory of her Jewish grandmother.{{cite web|title= Amy Winehouse Tattoos|website= Amy Winehouse Forever|url= http://amywinehouseforever.org/45/fashion/tattoos/|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170921000631/http://amywinehouseforever.org/45/fashion/tattoos/|url-status= live|archive-date= 21 September 2017|access-date= 5 July 2017}} In 2011, there were reports that Winehouse was in the process of adopting a 10-year-old girl from St. Lucia named Dannika Augustine.

However, after Winehouse's death, Doherty said that he and Winehouse had been lovers at one point.{{cite magazine |last=Hoffman |first=Claire |date=10 July 2008 |title=Up All Night with Amy Winehouse: Rolling Stone's 2008 Story |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/up-all-night-with-amy-winehouse-20080710 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727073253/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/up-all-night-with-amy-winehouse-20080710 |archive-date=27 July 2013 |magazine=Rolling Stone}}

Winehouse's substance use disorder was the subject of much media attention over the years. In 2005, she went through a period of drinking, heavy drug use, and weight loss. People who saw her during the end of that year and early 2006 reported a rebound that coincided with the writing of Back to Black. Her family believes that the mid-2006 death of her grandmother, who was a stabilising influence, set her off into addiction. In August 2007, Winehouse cancelled a number of shows in the UK and Europe, citing exhaustion and ill health. She was hospitalised during this period for what was reported as an overdose of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol.{{cite news|title= Amy Winehouse bailed over drugs video|url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/1937076/Amy-Winehouse-bailed-over-drugs-video.html|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|first=Anita|last=Singh|archive-url= https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/1937076/Amy-Winehouse-bailed-over-drugs-video.html |archive-date= 10 January 2022|url-status= live|date= 8 May 2008|access-date= 2 June 2014}} {{cbignore}} In various interviews, she admitted to having problems with self-harm, depression, and eating disorders.{{cite news |date=29 July 2008 |title=Profile: Amy Winehouse |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6939184.stm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107052001/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6939184.stm |archive-date=7 January 2009 |work=BBC News}} Because of her personal issues, The Washington Post prewrote an obituary.{{cite news|url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/media-advance-celebrity-obituaries/2021/11/16/36d9a79a-1596-11ec-b976-f4a43b740aeb_story.html|title = How obituaries got a jolt of new life in the Internet era|last = Farhi|first = Paul|date = November 16, 2021|accessdate = August 17, 2022|newspaper = The Washington Post|url-access = limited}}

Soon after Winehouse's death, a number of prominent critics assessed the singer's legacy. Maura Johnston from The Village Voice said, "When she was on, Winehouse had few peers—she wasn't an octave-jumper like other big divas of the moment, but her contralto had a snap to it that enriched even the simplest syllables with a full spectrum of emotion". Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker proclaimed, "Nobody can match Winehouse's unique transitions or her utterly weird phrasings. She sounded like an original sixties soul star, developed when the landscape had no rules. But now untrammelled traditionalism is in the lead and her beautiful footnote has been cut short. American soul—through visionaries like Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe and Jill Scott—had moved on. But Winehouse was a fine shepherd of the past."{{cite magazine |first= Matthew |last= Perpetua |title= Critics Assess Amy Winehouse's Legacy |magazine= Rolling Stone |date= 27 July 2011 |access-date= 21 May 2019 |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/critics-assess-amy-winehouses-legacy-175877/ |archive-date= 27 July 2024 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20240727131515/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/critics-assess-amy-winehouses-legacy-175877/ |url-status=live}}

After the release of Back to Black, record companies sought out female artists with a similar sound and fearless and experimental female musicians in general.

{{main|Amy Winehouse Foundation}}

After the singer's death by alcohol intoxication in July 2011, the Amy Winehouse Foundation was set up by Winehouse's family and launched on 14 September 2011 (which would have been Winehouse's 28th birthday). Its aim is to help vulnerable or disadvantaged young people, and it works with other charitable organisations to provide frontline support. Its central office is in North London, but it also has an office in New York (operating under the name 'The Amy Winehouse Foundation US').{{cite web |title=Amy Winehouse Foundation US |url=http://www.amywinehousefoundation.org/us/ |access-date=22 November 2014 |website=Amywinehousefoundation.org}} Jon Snow is a patron for the charity, with Barbara Windsor also before she died in 2020, and ambassadors include Jess Glynne, Patsy Palmer, Jessie Wallace, Keira Chaplin and Mica Paris.

London's Mall Galleries opened an exhibition in May 2008 that included a sculpture of Winehouse, titled Excess. The piece, created by Guy Portelli, had a miniature of the singer lying on top of a cracked champagne bottle, with a pool of spilled liquid underneath. The body was covered with what appeared to be tiny pills, while one outstretched hand held a glass. Another piece, a print titled Celebrity 1 by artist Charlotte Suckling, was shown in the same exhibition.{{cite news|first= Richard |last= Greenwood |title= Amy Winehouse sculpture to go on display |date= 14 May 2008 |newspaper= The Daily Telegraph |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3673359/Amy-Winehouse-sculpture-to-go-on-display.html |archive-date= 11 November 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111111003343/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3673359/Amy-Winehouse-sculpture-to-go-on-display.html}}

Winehouse was immortalised at the world-famous London Madame Tussauds on 23 July 2008. Winehouse herself had expressed surprise at plans to make a waxwork of her, stating that she believed a person 'had to be dead' before a waxwork was made of them. Winehouse did not make herself available for sittings for the Madame Tussauds waxwork, which was instead done from photos.{{Cite web|title=Amy Winehouse Unimpressed With Waxwork Statue|url=https://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/43865/amy-winehouse-unimpressed-with-waxwork-statue|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080829001914/https://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/43865/amy-winehouse-unimpressed-with-waxwork-statue|website=Entertainmentwise|archive-date=29 August 2008|date=15 July 2008|access-date=20 February 2024}}{{Cite web|title=Amy Winehouse waxwork revealed|url=https://www.nme.com/photos/amy-winehouse-waxwork-revealed-1406608|work=NME|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220193154/https://www.nme.com/photos/amy-winehouse-waxwork-revealed-1406608|archive-date=20 February 2024|date=23 July 2008|access-date=20 February 2024}} A sculpture by Marco Perego, titled The Only Good Rock Star Is a Dead Rock Star, that depicts Winehouse lying in a pool of blood with an apple and a bullet hole in her head after being shot by American novelist and Beat poet William S.
