"Behind every great popstar, there is a great songwriter. Many songwriters and producers have stepped out of the shadows lately, with the likes of Julia Michaels, Stargate, watt, Benny Blanco and RuthAnne swapping their writing pads and mixing desks for the bright lights of pop stardom. One of the most successful among them Amy Wadge. While Amy has released seven studio albums across her career, much of her success up to now has come from her songwriting for other artists. However, it looks like that's about to change. Amy's latest EP Keeping Faith is the soundtrack to the TV show of the same name. Filmed in Welsh for S4C and English for BBC Wales, the drama/thriller was promoted to BBC One this summer following the highest audiences for a non-network drama shown in Wales for over twenty years. Lead track Faith's Song is on course to land inside the Official Single Chart Top 100 this week. While Amy's music might be new to you, you'll almost certainly recognise the songs she's penned for some of the biggest household names in the music industry. To say Amy is hit-maker is an understatement...
Amy is most famous as a songwriter for her close relationship with Ed Sheeran. The pair won a Grammy together for Thinking Out Loud, Ed Sheeran's classic Number 1 ballad. Amy can also write up-tempo too; she teamed with Ed on Galway Girl, which reached the top spot on the Official Irish Singles Chart.
Amy and Camila have Ed Sheeran to thank for this one. An emotional ballad from Camila's debut album, Consequences was pitched to Camila after Ed told Amy that song would be perfect for the Havana star. The Cuban singer loved the track, made a few tweaks, and the rest is history." - Jack White
