Sliding Doors

Amy Macdonald: What if she hadn't gone out that night? Would she have written 'This Is the Life?!'


Listen Later

Amy Macdonald is a Multi-Platinum-selling Singer-Songwriter whose unmistakable voice and heartfelt lyrics have made her a standout figure in the music world for over 15 years. She burst onto the scene in 2007 with her debut album 'This Is the Life', which went on to sell over three million copies and topped charts across Europe. Since then she’s released five consecutive UK Top 10 albums, had 12 million sales and over a billion streams and has built a dedicated global fanbase. She has just released her brand new album ‘Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?’ and her latest single ‘Can You Hear Me?’, where she seeks to inspire the next generation to keep their faith for a brighter future. 


In this episode we delve into where Amy's love of music comes from and where she gains inspiration for her songwriting. We discuss the importance of timing when it comes to the 'what if' moments in her life and the concept of luck and hard work. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: answering an ad for demos in NME that kick started her whole career in music, the decision to give up plans to go to university and follow her music career and the night out that led her to write 'This Is the Life' that changed her life forever!
