Insatiable Soul
Insatiable Soul
At the tender age of 13, Roni discovered the key to her older Brothers bedroom door, Pandora's Box suddenly opened and it was a revelation! While all her friends were dancing to Madness she was gripped by The Players Association, Gonzalez and then got 'Swingin' with Light of the World!
Her Soul sessions didn't remain a secret for long and lunchtimes became popular among her friends where they all discovered the latest sounds in soul and Jazz-funk. She bought her first 7"inch Geraldine Hunt -'Can't fake the feeling' and gained instant credibility with her Brother and English teacher!!
She by chance discovered a Radio station, the signal was weak...and if she hadn't lived on a hill would never have found it. Radio Horizon and then JFM....quickly became the reason the homework wasn't being done!
At college Roni started organising events. She regularly hired Flicks and took 650/700 along who quickly saw the merits of Tom Holland. Roni took frequent coach loads to the Goldmine and Zero 6 and knew the importance of having the right DJs for the night. Tom Holland, Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent became the icons of her tribe ‘The Jazzers Incognito’. They travelled the country looking for the best sounds around but were so lucky being from Essex mean't they never had to travel too far!
Roni discovered the Caister Soul Weekender, the Lacy Lady and then the Special Branch in Tooley St.
Roni became involved with the fashion industry and it became more and more of a part of her role to organise fashion shows and presentations. The music never left her and she quickly took over organising the music in all the venues that she worked.
Through organising the music at fashion shows she realised her dream to have her own show.
You can find Roni on Europe’s premier Soul station Solar Radio every Monday at 10pm.
Roni has played at Soul Heaven, Epicuran Lounge, Sugar Lounge, Qudos @ Henrys, Club Valentinos, Chelmer Soul and has residency at The Squire and ultimately the legendary Caister Soul Weekender!
The first time Roni played at Soul Heaven, she was given the Tom Holland treatment!
He accidentally whacked her round the head with her CD case and gave her a concussion minutes before doing her set.
She has since been told this is a soul mafia initiation ceremony. She survived and played her first main room set at Caister 2005 New Years Eve!
