To say that Joy Fairclough wears many hats is an understatement. Her bio lists her as a musician, singer-songwriter, composer, recording artiste, music educator and performance health science trainer in the creative arts. And the formidable Fairclough, who was the vocal trainer for dancehall artistes such as Macka Diamond, Mr Vegas, Agent Sasco, and Danielle ‘DI’ Isaacs, also assisted the popular ‘Digicel Rising Stars’ competition as a workshop trainer in vocal technique, working with artistes such as Camille Davis, One Third, Romain Virgo and many others.

Fairclough is also passionate about intellectual property, and it gives her joy to pass on her knowledge to all creatives who are willing to take a listen.

One such workshop takes place this afternoon at the Mamby Park Baptist Church hall, Constant Spring Road, St Andrew, under the heading ‘The trade and commerce of IP rights through administration, publishing and distribution’. Persons have the choice of also joining via Zoom.
