Amy MacDonald (born 25 August 1987 in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow) is a Scottish singer/songwriter. Her debut album, This Is the Life, was released on 30 July 2007 and has now sold over 1 million copies. Her first single, "Poison Prince", was released on 7 May 2007. She has been scheduled to play shows at music festivals such as Glastonbury, Hyde Park, T in the Park, and V festival. She has signed a record deal with Vertigo, the same record label which hosts The Killers and Razorlight. Macdonald started playing on-stage acoustic gigs at the age of 15. Her main influences include Travis and The Libertines. After playing several shows across mainland Europe, Macdonald plans to play at various festivals such as V Fest during the summer of 2008.

Reviewers often cite Amy Macdonald as a shy spoken 20 year old girl who comes alive with her booming singing voice. Despite her Scottish origins, her singing voice has been described as partly Irish. She has also called herself a slight tomboy. On her MySpace blog, she mentions cars, such as Audis, and video games as her interests. Macdonald has also repeatedly expressed how fast her life is moving when she mentions her admiration when meeting other British singers such as Travis's Fran Healy and Elton John. She backed this up in an interview in October 2007, saying that she is glad that Kate Nash has come to prominence at the same time as her, as she feels that Nash has taken some of the spotlight from her, so she can just get on with her music.
