orn in New Jersey before relocating to London aged 21, Amy Lamé has made a career of championing music. From her first job working in a Soho cafe bar
she was soon running things herself, and her acclaimed night Duckie is still going strong after 23 years on Saturdays at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
Recently, she’s started championing music on air, sharing her favourite records with BBC Radio 6 Music’s listeners on Sunday afternoons, while since 2016 she’s been fighting the cause for London’s nighttime economy on behalf of Mayor Sadiq Khan in her role as Night Czar. That’s why she’s winner of Music Champion at the 2018 Music Week’s Women In Music Awards.
How does it feel to be a Music Champion? “I feel so honoured. It took me by surprise. I have just been getting on with the job. The fact that someone else has recognised it is very sweet.”
