Time For Joannie's Music

Joannie, known professionally as Joannie Joannie or JoannieJMusic, is part of the Time For My Music online community for emerging female musicians. Her element is the voice: she's a singer, songwriter and poetical lyricist, radio presenter and DJ. She is passionate about social connection and communication, which has allowed her to bring joy with her music to people of all ages, from youth groups to care homes residents.

Joannie joined Time For My Music to find support in order to tackle the hurdles that lockdown brought her, namely some voice problems and loss of confidence. With Millicent's guidance and the help of the community, she got back on track in no time. Once restrictions on live music were lifted, she got gigs, interviews, award nominations, and this year, the opportunity to release a single: You Bring Me Joy. 

Nowadays, Joannie is working regularly as music performer in restaurants with her duo SistasWithSoul. You can also find her on London World Radio, presenting on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. To learn about everything she does, you can follow her on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

This is a great example of how we are able to overcome difficulties and get to where we want to be in our music journey. Now that the end of the year approaches, it's important to look around us for inspiration and celebrate the achievements of people in our communities, so we face the new year with energy and optimism. Remember that it's never late, and there's space for everyone!
