What do you do when you live on the Gold Coast and you've already visited the various amusement parks? If you're Amy Billings - aka Amy Shark - you take to learning guitar, working your way up to singing and eventually giving the whole singer-songwriter thing a go. After building up a sure but certain following, Billings went for gold with last year's "Adore." What she ended up with, however, was double platinum and the #2 spot in the Triple J Hottest 100. So, who is this out-of-nowhere upstart and what's next on her radar? Before a sold-out show at the Newtown Social Club (RIP), Billings talked Twitter trolls, Thirsty Merc and the day the nation adored her. Amy Shark's "Night Thinker" EP is out now.
