Early life[]

Amy Shark was born on the Gold Coast in Queensland on 14 May 1986.[1] Her mother, Robyn, remarried and raised Shark on the Gold Coast with her stepfather David Cushway and a younger half-sibling.[1] She is of Hungarian and English descent.[2] She attended Southport State High School,[3][4] where she performed in theatre, studied film, and played guitar in an all-female punk-band.[1] She described her first group, Dorothy's Rainbow and Hansel Kissed Gretel, as "'quite thrashy', though it fell apart when its members splintered. 'I kept going, kept writing songs on my acoustic guitar'."[5][6][7] Shark entered a singing competition in 2007.[8] She subsequently performed under various names, including Amy Cushway, Amy Billings, and as Little Sleeper.[1][9]

Career[]

2008–2013: Amy Cushway[]

Amy Shark recorded and performed as Amy Cushway from 2008 to 2012.[10] She released two extended plays, I Thought of You Out Loud (2008) and Love's Not Anorexic (2009).[11] In November 2009 she described her early material, "As much as I enjoy writing intricate acoustic ballads, there's nothing better than adding thunderous beats and raw energy to your set."[11] She was living in Varsity Lakes in April 2010 and explained how, "[record companies] did not ask for demos now but just asked what her MySpace page was."[12]

Amy Cushway also released two albums Broadway Gossip (2010)[13] and It's a Happy City (2012).[14] By December 2016, she was no longer using Cushway and material under that name had been deleted from her accounts.[14] In 2007, Shark had met Shane Billings, a New Zealand-born Gold Coast resident; they married on 11 May 2013.[1] Her written material is credited to Amy Louise Billings.[10][15] The couple worked with the local National Rugby League football club, Gold Coast Titans: Shane as a financial manager and Shark as a video editor.[1][2] She left the job in November 2016.[16] Shane was also Shark's talent manager until she signed with Jaddan Comerford of UNIFIED Music Group.[17] The couple are residents of Broadbeach Waters.

2014–2017: New name and Night Thinker[]

Main article: Night Thinker

By the end of 2013, the artist started using the stage name, Amy Shark, because Jaws was her favourite film.[5] In February 2014 she independently released a five-track extended play, Nelson.[16][18] She activated a new YouTube account, as Amy Shark Music, in 2014 and issued a single, "Spits on Girls", in July.[19][20]

Shark released her next self-produced single, "Golden Fleece", in October 2015, originally under the name, Little Sleeper.[6][9][21] Chris Singh of The AU Review.com observed, "The song, powerful and penetrating in itself, is given visuals both understated and intense as Little Sleeper stands in darkness with her guitar and is progressively drenched in multi-coloured paint."[9] It won Pop Song of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards in 2016, and Shark embarked on a nationwide tour supporting Sydney band, Tigertown in December.[22][23] She received a grant from her local council, which allowed her to work with more popular producers.[24]

In July 2016, she released her next single, "Adore", with co-production by Shark, M-Phazes and Cam Bluff,[25] in addition to a cover version of Silverchair's "Miss You Love" for Triple J's show Like a Version.[26] "Adore" received significant airplay on Triple J, leading to a bidding war between major labels, which was won by Sony Music Australia. Shark signed with Wonderlick/Sony in November 2016.[27] Two of her earlier singles, "Spits on Girls" and "Golden Fleece", were re-released by Wonderlick/Sony in 2016.[28][29] "Adore" was listed at number 2 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2016, behind Flume's "Never Be like You".[30][31][32]

In March 2017, Shark released "Weekends" followed by another EP, Night Thinker (April), which peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Singles Chart. In April she won Artist of the Year and Song of the Year at the Gold Coast Music Awards.[33] In November she was named Apple Music's UpNext artist.[34] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017 Shark was nominated for 6 awards and won both Best Pop Release and Breakthrough Artist for Night Thinker.[35] She performed "Adore" at the ceremony.[35] On 15 November 2017, she appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden singing "Adore", and performed it again on 13 March 2018 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

On 11 April 2018, Shark premiered a single, "I Said Hi", on Triple J before releasing it the following day.[40] It received unpaid promotion by comedians, and digital radio show hosts, Luke and Lewis using posters, megaphone and a large home-made sign hung up next to the Fox FM Melbourne station logo.[41] That promotion captured the attention of the singer-songwriter who displayed it on her own Instagram account.[42][43] "I Said Hi" peaked at number 6 on the ARIA charts.

Shark's album, Love Monster, was released on 13 July 2018[44] and it debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Charts. The album provided four additional singles, including "Mess Her Up" (March 2019).
