Jess Glynne: Amy Winehouse gave me the confidence to do this
Quote:
Amy Winehouse gave her the confidence to pursue a career in music... "I have so many inspirations that I can’t really put it down to one, but Amy was a massive inspiration for giving me the confidence to do the thing I really wanted to do.
"She came along with this amazing album Frank and it became the soundtrack to my life. At the time my parents were like, ‘Oh my god we can just see you doing this' and I was like, for f---- sake I’m never going to be able to do it now she's doing it so well, but I love her. My dad would tell me I could do it and I’d be like, 'Seriously, come on?'.
I think Amy’s lyrics and songs really got into my head and became a massive inspiration."
