Formation
Lioness Records was formed in 2009, due to Winehouse's wish of signing Dionne Bromfield. Winehouse stated that "the first time I heard Dionne sing, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, such an amazing voice from such a young cat. She’s so much better than I was at her age. I'm just so proud of her".[2] The name Lioness Records comes from a necklace, given to Winehouse from her grandmother, Cynthia, bearing a pendant featuring a lioness. Winehouse died in 2011, although her father, Mitchell Winehouse, has remained an active director.
