Duffy Biography

Duffy is one of the most popular and richest Soul Singer who was born on June 23, 1984 in Bangor, Wales. British soul and pop singer and songwriter. She won a Grammy Award for Rockferry, her 2008 United Kingdom chart-topping debut album.

From 2009 to 2011, she was romantically involved with Welsh-born rugby player Mike Phillips.

Aimee Anne Duffy (born 23 June 1984) is a Welsh singer, songwriter and actress. Her first album, Rockferry, released in 2008, became the best-selling album in the United Kingdom that year, and led to worldwide attention. In 2009, she received the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Rockferry, one of three nominations, and won three out of four Brit Awards nominations, for British Breakthrough, Best British Female and Best British Album. In 2010, she made her acting debut in the film Patagonia and released her second studio album Endlessly to moderate success.

In September 1998, at the age of 14, Duffy was briefly put in a police safe house when authorities uncovered a plot by her stepfather’s ex-wife to pay a hitman £3,000 to kill her stepfather, Philip Smith. Smith’s ex-wife, Dawn Watson, was sentenced to a 3½-year jail term for soliciting to murder. “I was so terrified. I felt so ill”, Duffy recounted in 2008, as reported by the NME and The Sun. Duffy describes living in the safe house as a dog-eat-dog, claustrophobic and isolating experience. Aged 15, she ran away back to her father’s home in Nefyn. Duffy said in retrospect, “It was a horrendous thing to do.” Her mother and her sisters did not speak to her for about a year afterward. In reaction to her parents’ break-up, her next three years were a rebellious period that included binge drinking and stealing a rowing boat.

She was born in Wales to a Welsh mother and a British father. Her birth name was Amie Ann Duffy; she later adopted the stage names of Duffy and Aimee Duffy.
