London, November 29 (ANI): Amy Winehouse’s dad, Mitch, will bring out his first music album in March next year.

Seemingly, the troubled singer has motivated her father to hold the mic.

“Amy and me have been talking about it for years - me doing an album - but the timing just wasn’t right,” the News of the World quoted Mitch as saying.

He added: “Amy’s career takes precedence - of course it should - and then Amy wasn’t too well but now things in our lives are much better.”

Taxi driver Mitch mentioned Amy would release her new album next year.

He added: “And of course it’s before Amy brings out her album which should be next year, so March should be just about right timing wise.”

“We love singing in our family. I was always singing at home. But this is a dream come true and musically, it’s a great album.

“If Amy wasn’t my daughter I wouldn’t be given this opportunity. I’m not stupid I know that. But if I couldn’t sing I wouldn’t have been given the opportunity either.”

Meanwhile, the celebrity dad has started his own series, Showbiz Rant.

In the show he chats to celebs in his taxi for online TV channel Liv. (ANI)
