Amy Wadge

Amy Victoria Wadge (born 22 December 1975) is an English singer and songwriter. She has co-written tracks with Ed Sheeran, including "Thinking Out Loud" for which she won the 2016 Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Wadge was born and brought up in Backwell, a small village just outside Bristol, England. Her father's passion for music influenced her enormously, and on the subject of her paternal influences she has said that she "grew up listening to early Elton John, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. That was the stuff I cut my teeth on and now I listen to everything you can possibly imagine from hip hop to country".

While still at school, aged 14, Wadge signed her first record deal. She released her first single at the age of 16.

Apart from writing songs for herself, Wadge has been active in collaborating with new performers in Britain, including Ed Sheeran. The two collaborated on a number of songs, and Sheeran titled his self-released 2010 EP Songs I Wrote with Amy. One track was included with the deluxe edition of Sheeran's album +. Wadge continued her collaborative relationship with Sheeran in 2014. The single "Thinking Out Loud", written on a guitar given to Sheeran, features on the album x.

Wadge has also written with Lewis Watson and has collaborated with Shannon Saunders and other artists.[citation needed] She wrote and performed the songs for the soundtrack of the BBC Wales series Keeping Faith in 2018, and for the second series, shown in 2019. Wadge also co-wrote "Consequences", the third single from Camila Cabello's debut album Camila.[citation needed]

Also in 2019, Wadge gave Bonnie Tyler three tracks ("Older" from Amy Wadge 2016, "Bad for Loving You" from Walking Disaster 2018 and "To the Moon and Back" from Recovery 2014) for the Bonnie Tyler album Between the Earth and the Stars.[better source needed]

In 2021, she co-wrote the song "All of My Friends" from the Delta Goodrem album Bridge Over Troubled Dreams.

In 2022, she co-wrote the UK's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, "Space Man" by Sam Ryder.[citation needed]
