Livin' Joy biographyVocals and lyrics : Tameka Starr
Paulo and Gianni Visnadi were working in England as dance music composers, they started the project for Livin' Joy in 1993 with Janice Robinson as female vocalist. They released a single entitled Dreamer which was so successful that it was re-released in 1995. Dreamer was # 28 in Israel, # 18 in the UK in it's first release and # 1 there after the second release. Then Janice left the group. The Visnadi bros. met Tameka Starr in Liverpool '94. She had spent most of her childhood on military bases around Europe and always wanted to be famous. When Tameka's soulful lyrics and the Visnadi bros. up tempo beats mixed, the hits started coming. Don't Stop Movin' was perfect for a follow up single, it was a worldwide hit in the second half of 1996. It reached #5 in UK, #1 in Italy, # 6 in Israel, and #3 in Australia. It sold a total of 2 million copies worldwide. Singles to follow were Follow The Rules (# 8 in Israel, # 8 in the UK), Where Can I Find Love (# 9 in Israel, # 12 in the UK), Deep In You (which also contained a Megamix). Then the debut album Don't Stop Movin'. was released, it contained a secret song which was Dreamer (sung by Janice Robinson). It reached #41 in UK. Livin' Joy were pretty quiet in 1998, but made a huge comeback in 1999 with the release of the new single Just For The Sex Of It. This up-tempo infectious dance song became a club anthem announcing a second album also entitled Just For The Sex Of It. It should have be released the same year but nothing finally came out.
