LEEDS

About Me

I was born in Leeds in the 60's. My parents were into music big time!! I am the youngest of 5 children. We grew up listening to John Holt, Dennis Brown, etc in the Reggae scene and Tamla Motown, all the tunes that are now known as rare grooves and old school on the Soul scene. I've always loved music and singing. We used to pretend that we were The Jacksons,Three Degrees, Supremes etc. Later, we pretended to be Change, Oddysey, Funkedelic, etc. I discovered that I had a talent for writing lyrics when I was around 12 years old. I started singing my own cover versions to entertain my friends during lunchtime at school. When I left school, I started charging local sound systems for writing lyrics for them to MC when they had a clash with other sounds. I was a huge Saxon sound fan and I moved to London in the early 80's. After making lots of new friends and discovering the nightlife in London, I eased up on the songwriting. It is only over the last couple of years that I have got back into it to help out my family and their friends to write Grime lyrics. I also discovered that I still have a good singing voice and I am now singing on a daily basis! I recently moved back up to Leeds and I am now a Grandmother, so I don't have as much time for music as I used to. But it's all good!!!!I am also working full time so i'm half asleep most of the time!!! Anyway, that's me and if you want to know anything else, holla at me innit? Peace!!!
