London
(ANI):
English
singer
songwriter
Amy
Winehouse
has
decided
to
take
control
of
her
10
million
pounds
fortune
and
start
her
own
record
label,
in
a
bid
to
become
more
independent.
Winehouse
has
been
making
secret
plans
with
her
new
man
Alex
Haines
and
close
aides,
to
quit
Island
Records
after
her
next
album.
"For
the
first
time
in
her
career,
Amy
is
beginning
to
have
her
head
turned
by
the
cash
she
can
make," the
Sun
quoted
a
pal
of
hers
as
saying.
"It's
never
been
a
huge
deal
in
the
past,
but
she
is
beginning
to
realize
everyone
else
is
making
all
the
money
out
of
her
success.
Her
deal
with
Island
ends
after
the
next
record.
That's
why
they
are
trying
to
get
her
to
clean
up
first
and
make
sure
it's
a
classic,"
the
pal
said.
"Once
she
gets
that
out
she
wants
to
set
up
her
own
label.
She
plans
to
release
her
own
material
on
it,
as
well
as
her
mates
like
Tyler
James
and
Remi
Nicole.
She's
been
planning
it
with
Alex,
who
has
a
bit
of
music
know-how
from
working
as
her
manager's
assistant,"
the
pal
added.
The
whole
project
has
been
viewed
as
a
chance
for
Amy
to
take
control
of
her
cash,
and
she
has
even
spoken
to
financial
advisers
on
how
to
keep
her
jailed
hubby
Blake
Fielder-Civil
from
getting
any
of
the
cash.
Fielder-Civil
had,
as
revealed
by
the
Sun
on
Apr
29,
made
a
demand
for
a
3million
pounds
settlement,
after
Winehouse
dumped
him
last
week.
The
'Rehab' singer
has
also
discussed
taking
control
of
her
finances
from
her
dad
Mitch,
who
is
currently
giving
her
only
a
modest
income
to
live
on.
Winehouse
might
even
be
given
a
chance
by
her
bosses
at
Universal,
Island's
parent
company,
to
set
up
the
label
under
their
name,
with
a
big
royalties
deal.
