A career in pop

Janey Lee Grace started her singing career in Manchester and Birmingham nightclubs before landing her first big gig with Mari Wilson and the Wilsations.

After being fired for refusing to dye her hair canary yellow, she joined WHAM! and sang backing vocals with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley on all their tours, including the Wham! in China tour.

Janey went on to work with Boy George, Sinitta, Kim Wilde and Natalie Cole, and scored her own UK Top 10 hit with Cola Boy’s 7 Ways to Love in 1991.

From music to media

Transitioning from music to media, Janey became a presenter for ITV, VH-1, Sky News, Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 2, depping for Sunday Love Songs and co-hosting Steve Wright in the Afternoon for 24 years.

Her passion for holistic living inspired her Amazon No.1 bestseller, Imperfectly Natural Woman.

In From Wham! to Woo Janey shares her journey, complete with behind-the-scenes stories as well as the fun and the challenges.

This book takes us back to the ‘80s and ‘90s and is packed with fabulous stories and photographs.
