Amy Shark has given her most revealing interview ever as the cover star of the latest edition of Rolling Stone AU/NZ magazine, which is out today.
Shark granted Rolling Stone AU/NZ unprecedented access to her life and career, opening the doors to her Gold Coast home and studio as she put the finishing touches on her next album.
The story chronicles the musician’s transformation from video editor for the Gold Coast Titans rugby league team to multi-platinum and ARIA Award-winning “Australian Idol” judge. Shark details the guilt that accompanied her early rise to a new, unapologetic mindset where she now refuses to mute her successes.
The March-May issue of the magazine also pays homage to other women in music, to coincide with Women’s History Month. The special Women In Music edition also features The Veronicas and Kita Alexander in a photo essay detailing their hopes for the music industry following the #MeToo movement, as well as a guest Editor’s Letter by music icon Tina Arena.

Poppy Reid, Rolling Stone AU/NZ editor-in-chief, said: “Amy Shark has reached the top of the pop mountain in Australia. Just two albums in, she is now selling out arenas, undertaking the biggest tours in the country, delivering multi-platinum hits, and beaming into hundreds of thousands of living rooms every week as a judge on ‘Australian Idol’.
“She’s also the opposite of everything you’d expect from a pop star. For over a year, I was given unprecedented access to Amy – and she went deeper than she’s ever gone. I’m so excited for fans to see this side of her.”
In 2021 Rolling Stone Australia expanded its brand with the inaugural Rolling Stone Australia Awards, which is now in its third year. The March-May edition features all the previously announced finalists, ahead of the awards ceremony on Tuesday, April 4 in Sydney.
