"It doesn't feel like a job": Amy Shark talks upcoming album, NZ tour

Her last two albums going number one in Australia, Amy Shark is set to release her latest work. 

She burst onto the global music scene in 2019, winning eight ARIA awards, and performed or written songs with Travis Barker, Ed Sheeran, Keith Urban, and Coldplay. 

‘Sunday Sadness’ is due out in August, with an Australasian tour following behind in October.  

Shark is 38 years old, and finding success later on in the game has ensured she doesn’t take it for granted. 

She told Mike Hosking that she revels in her success, maybe more than others who maybe had a bit more luck and success early on.  

“Everything's really exciting for me still because like, you know, I didn’t get signed till I was like 30,” Shark said. 

“I feel like I’ve done so much, like, I really went hard the second I got signed." 

Getting signed allowed Shark to create music she loves. 

“I still love making music,” she told Hosking. 

“It doesn’t feel like a job.”
