Amy Shark, born Amy Louise Billings in 1986 on Queensland's Gold Coast, spent the years from 2008 to 2012 putting out songs as Amy Cushway before she found her new name and her voice. "Adore" was the breakthrough: a hushed, twitchy slow-burner of a song that climbed to number 3 on the ARIA singles chart. The Night Thinker EP, in 2017, gathered it up with "Weekends" and "Blood Brothers", all indie pop with a diary's worth of nerves.
Love Monster, in July 2018, went straight to number one on the ARIA albums chart, carrying "I Said Hi" and "All Loved Up", and Cry Forever followed in 2021 with "C'mon". She has since won 8 ARIA Music Awards from 29 nominations, taking Best Pop Release 3 times, for Night Thinker, for Love Monster and for "Everybody Rise".
She has also covered Dean Lewis's "Be Alright", and since 2023 she has sat on the judging panel of Australian Idol.
