Born of Jamaican heritage, the youngest of 3 siblings, and a child of the Windrush generation, Paul Williams emerged! His thoughts of playing music – the first being a vinyl disc 45, was triggered by a single turntable stereo on a dressing table sideboard, which was the centerpiece at family gatherings and celebrations at home; his family encouraged him to play at the age of 7 or 8.
In the late 80’s Joannie was asked by a friend if she would like to do a slot on PCRL a radio station that was very popular in Birmingham. Joannie decided that this would be a good platform for building confidence and showcase her talents to others. Joannie always fancied herself as a DJ as well as a vocalist. Marrying the two together. Joannie also took part in doing jingles for BRMB in the early 80s into the 90s.
