biography
For the 1994 debut single Dreamer , the musicians and producers Visnadi engaged the singer Janice Robinson. The song first rose to number 18 in the English charts in September of that year . When the single was re-released in 1995, it even climbed to the top spot in the UK. Since there was no contract with Robinson, she was replaced by Doris Diggs aka Tameka Starr for the following publications.
In June 1996, Don't Stop Movin 'was another top 10 hit in England at number 5. The single Follow the Rules was also able to build on the success of its predecessor in October of that year in 9th place. Where Can I Find Love rose to number 12 in April 1997 and Deep in You , Livin 'Joy's last chart hit, rose to number 17 in the UK charts the following August. The project's last single, Just for the Sex of It , was released in 1998.
