Biography:
Angie B, Born 29th September named:- 'Angela Dunkley' born, to Jamaican parents, Mavis and Wilfred.
Angela adapted her name to Angie B, as the ' B' is the start of her marital name and she has been used to being called, 'Angie B' for nigh on 20 years, so it seemed the norm.
A wife and a mother of ten children and sixteen grandchildren.
Angie is the only British child and the youngest of four, Louis, Rose, Trevor then herself, they always said, ' she was more Jamaican than the others as she loved Jamaica, jamaican patois, roots and culture' and always felt more at home in Jamaica, not only in Jamaica but in the Ghetto, its there she had the most fun.
She went to jamaica as a child and also did some schooling out there at a young age, her parents were from, Tivoli Gardens, Kingston. Angie grew up in 'The Pentecostal Church of God', where she learned to sing and was also in the choir until she also started singing solo.
Often times she sung with her mother, a Sunday School Teacher, whom had a strong singing voice herself and was also great at harmonising, then, when her sister joined the church too, Angie recalls all three of them singing together, that was so memorable.
She took Piano lessons, which she did for about a year, also had Violin lessons and some experience in playing the Bass Guitar.
She is also the cousin of legendary Errol Dunkley though Errol were closer to her brother and cousin the late guitarist Lascelle Dunkley aka Tonic man, ex guitarist for the late Sugar Minott and session player for and on the late legendary, Alton Ellis's 'Golden Jubilee ' album, which Angie rehearsed with them.
WhenTonic man, came to the UK in the early 80's as a guitarist with Sugar, he lived with Angie and her family, so they became close, ' she was a rebel back then, he liked that in her, as he wasn't one to be reckoned with either', she laughs.
It was 'Tonic' whom paved the way for her and they would rehearse night after night, so long as he did not have a gig.
They did two reggae songs together that Angie wrote, 'Mash up' and another one of which she can't recall the title.
Tonic and her brother Trevor, introduced her to a lot of the reggae artist that she didnt know as her brother grew up with singers such as Bob Marley, whom stayed at his home in the 70s when he visited the UK.
Angie was also introduced to artist such as legendary Roy Cousins - 'Pick up the pieces' a close family friend. Ken Boothe, John Holt a few to mention.
She was first was taken to a recording studio aged just 15 years old by the late, 'Jah Woosh' her brothers' best friend to dj on a track for him, as back in those days, she could 'toast' what is now called 'singjay'
She recalls those days as days when lyrics could roll of her tongue, she states,' I can no longer freestyle' Angie rehearsed many times in the past with, Alton Ellis, they were even on the same bill under her former marital singing name ' Angela Campbell'.
She finally recorded her first solo single aged 22-23 years on a 'V.I.P label', called 'Love Me' which was a soul track, disco 45, produced by Patrick Boothe, followed by 'I'll be there' also produced by Patrick Boothe, and Co produced by herself and with the aid of pop singer, 'Louise Tucker' Alton Ellis played a great roll influenced Vinton Brown to invest in her, whilst Alton was her mentor.
Angie performed in Brixton Town Hall same bill as Alton, Bristol, Bow and a few more but, at an African Famine Relief event she recalls, Maxi Priest encouraging her to go on stage, because she was nervous, as the crowd was in the hundreds the largest ever and she was going on in the middle, before the big names, when I sung the first 8 or 9 words she says, ' they were screaming, then, she recalls she took to that stage like she owned it, after having a stiff brandy, she didnt drink, but she overcame the shyness.
She appeared and was interviewed in and by 'The Voice' newspaper for her musical talent. She went to Holland on holiday and left a cassette there, as if, by chance a singer 'Oty Limond' was looking for a female singer to form a duet with his band 'Euram, Angies friends out there invited him to listen to her songs, they liked what they heard and got in contact. Angie did a couple radio interviews in Holland and before she knew it, Oty Limond of Euram paid for her and her late, acting manager, Vinton Brown to join them in Switzerland. where the band resided, and that was not the only trip.
She rehearsed constantly for a couple weeks and on other visits performed in the evenings at pre planned venues in Davos and Zurich etc, she came back to UK for a while then was off again as she was to appear on live on Zee TV with Oty performing his song, 'You will be near'. She appeared in venues, on their big screens and television, she recalls it was really nice, V.i.P treatment and experience all round, she loved it.
She managed to purchase her 1st car from that although it wasn't brand new, she was happy with it. A short time later, they, the band. were offered a record deal by a major record label ' Arista records' it was sadly turned down by Oty as 'Arista records' did not want the band, only the 2 main singers, Angie and Oty but, as they were with him from the beginning, due to loyalty Oty could not accept the offer.
Angie admits she did become a bit dishearted and worse her mother was becoming fearful of the music world, as a few negative stories were being broadcasted by the media, she was worried sick, as she did not trust them and especially because Angie was now going abroad regularly, this too, was breaking her spirit.
She went on to have more children and had some of her own personal issues and troubles in her life. In early 90s she recorded a 'Soul' track with UK singer Wayne Marshall, 'Got no love' Produced by Wayne. Though Angie never released it, and still has it on a 24 track, she has since done a reggae version though with the addition of singjay lyrics and an extra verse, but kept the main body and titles, in other words she has resurrected them in a new form.
Who knows she says. I may still release the original soul version too one day, so we'll wait and see. In the latter part of the 1990's, she put her knowledge and energy into managing her sons' 'garage' crew, called, 'And Wot' and later two other crews that she started to manage.
They performed at Open mics and many venues, paid and unpaid even. Hackney Empire, the Lyric theatre, etc, they also performed on same venue as Julian Marley, where they had the crowds going, they also took part at a 'Mothers against Guns' event including Dance competitions. Angie was interviewed on BBC radio in Milton Keynes, which she felt honoured to do.
The crew won awards, they were in the local press, They were achieving their goals. The late great legendary Queen of reggae Louisa Mark' visited Milton Keynes and called angie on stage to sing with her , she was Angies childhood friend.
Angie recalls everything was fine for a while as she knew all her songs, but this night her voice changed uncontrollably on a note, it went so high, she said, she didn't think a note so high existed, they gave each other a fleeting glance, something was wrong if no one else knew it , they knew it, they discussed it later that evening, louisa was surprised as angie was, angie started having bouts of coughing whilst even talking, she was worried, that prompted her to get a check up two days later if that didn't happen that night god knows what may have happened.
In the days to follow she was diagnosed with polyps and a massive cyst on her vocal chords, (she was practically suffocating,) she had to be operated on immediately at the findings, after which she was then told she may never be able to sing again.
When everything eventually healed and she tried i could not hit any notes neither did she sound the same , her voice dropped a couple tones down she attended a vocal training class in the hospital. Angie believed what doctors told her and feared losing her voice completley, she gave up singing entirely it was not an option she felt at that time, she decided to do her own business and she set up a retail business.
Things took a very bad turn a few years later which affected her entire family that Angie still feels very bitter about and it still has a lot of impact on her views of life.
After the loss of her mother in June 2010 which had a major effect on Angie, followed three years later by Angies elder sister in 2013, then a few months later her cousin Tonic man, all of whom died as a result of cancer, she was exceptionally close to her mother. when mum passed both her and her sister leaned on each other now with that loss
Angie needed something to fill the voids, everyone, family, friends even some people whom had heard her sing started encouraging her to go back to her singing as they believed she could still sing, the final straw was when she sung for her sisters funeral, she was again encouraged to go back to her music so, she contacted veteran and friend 'General Saint' whom realised she was serious about singing though, he personally had never heard her sing before but, believed in her, he hooked her up with Producer, Robbie Tyndale, who supplied her with three instrumentals he'd made and basically said, 'get on with it' so she did.
Amazed and astonished with what she had done, Saint said 'Angie, i'm shocked, it's better than what i had ever imagined', he loved her voice and her style. as for her age, she sounded so young, at that point she had only done her 1st track, 'Had it all' he liked the little singjay part she had done, and thought she should incorporate more in her songs as it suited her, and he too is a singjay artist, so she did, and came with up with' In da Club' influenced by her children, her son wrote the Singjay part Saint was amazed at it and just loving what she was producing, then came 'Fall in love' all recorded at Blu Jeanz, in which Saint and Robbie had started.
Later she did a few Dancehall tracks that had been written for her, which she states she does not usually have anyone writing for her but as it was her son, she did not mind, as it gave her a little more space to concentrate on some Reggae and Lovers rock songs as she seemed to be covering all areas, she has even recorded a few soul tracks too, as that is what she had experience with in the past and had released.
Of her music she insists, ' I am versatile.'
She continues to support her children in their music and give light where she can though they are more mainstream.
Her album is complete and now released, entitled, 'Personally Yours' which is slowly being introduced now, is a mixture of styles and moods. mainly produced and mastered by her long time ex producer Patrick Boothe, ' it's so good to have back some of my old links she says, it's good to live good with people, who would have thought thirty plus years later.'
She has also been quite successful with another track off a Compilation Album 'Everytime we touch' released and produced by Starrvybz Ent, URV 'Mumma's Cry' which was a hit for her, in a few European Countries, which meant a lot to her personally.
Of music, Angie says; ' music stops her from focusing so much on the loves she has lost, help ieases her pain, as she has been through a lot over the past 10 years. Angie has other talents too, she does Art when she has the time and loves taking part in Political views and including Black History.
She retorts,''Music is also a part of me, it is my first love, I can always express my feelings, emotions, experiences, fantacies, fallacies, pain whatever, through my music'' Angie feels 'Blessed' as recently she has signed a VPAL distribution Contract with CEO Donovan Williams, to some people it may seem simple, but she feels honored at this time in her life AND she has recently released via VPAL the first, duet 'Feelings of Love' with singer/producer Patrick Boothe. Available on iTunes, Amazon and many more.
Her aim is to keep on making good music. stay focused and positive and to keep trying out new musical ventures, there is so much talent out there, but, she hopes one day to leave her mark out there and inspire or touch people with the music or songs she creates and hopes people will recognise her as a serious artist and as one of the veterans, one day.
