Studt used this time for her hobbies, and two years later, with the advice of her father, she recorded her first two demo albums which would go on to get her signed to Polydor.

Two more singles were released, "Under the Thumb" in late 2003 and "All I Wanna Do" (a cover of the tune by Sheryl Crow) in early 2004, but only to diminishing sales that prompted Polydor to drop Studt in February 2004, all before her 18th birthday.

After three hospitalizations and recovery from addiction, Studt wrote about her experiences with suffering, illness and heartbreak, ‘...but ultimately survival and hope’ which she explains she put into her songwriting for her third album.

In 2017, Studt announced she had been working with Toby Kid from Hatcham Social and released two teaser songs from her soon to come third album, "I Was Jesus in Your Veins" and "Different Colour Pills".

Studt's father is a violinist and a conductor who has worked with artists including Roy Robinson, Shirley Bassey and The Beatles (either touring or recording) and has featured in several films, while her mother is a pianist.

[5] At the age of 13, Amy attended Bryanston School, Dorset on a 50% music scholarship[6] by which time Studt had written 42 songs.

Alongside the success of "Misfit" was the release of Studt's debut album False Smiles, which entered the chart at No.

The LA Times wrote: 'Positively incandescent torch-singing Londoner with a hair-raising emotional range that varies from cut-glass fragility to cat-o'-nine-tails avenger'[10] suggesting that listeners should "ignore any dim memories of her mid-teens pop phase [from] a while ago.

The album My Paper Made Men was released as a digital download on 5 May that year, and physically on 2 March 2009, along with the third single, "Nice Boys".

It was then made public in April that Studt was dropped by her record label, and she chose to then leave her management shortly after.

In 2017, Studt took part in a panel at AIM'S Indie-Con, discussing mental health within the music industry; she spoke openly about how in 2009, after moving back from New York City, she suffered a nervous breakdown at 22 years old and was diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder.
