Info:

Joan Anita Barbara Armatrading, CBE (born 9 December 1950) is a Kittitian-English singer-songwriter and guitarist.
Joan Armatrading, the third of six children, was born in 1950 in the town of Basseterre in what was then the British colony Saint Christopher and Nevis. Her father was a carpenter and her mother a housewife. When she was three years old, her parents moved with their two eldest boys to Birmingham in England, sending Joan to live with her grandmother on the Caribbean island of Antigua. In early 1958, at the age of seven, she joined her parents in Brookfields, then a district of Birmingham. (The area, now mostly demolished, has been absorbed into the district of Hockley.) Her father had played in a band in his youth, later forbidding his children from touching his guitar. At about the age of 14 Armatrading began writing songs by setting her own limericks to music on a piano that her mother had purchased as \"a piece of furniture\" Shortly thereafter, her mother bought her a £3 guitar (equivalent to £59 in 2019) from a pawn shop in exchange for two prams, and she began teaching herself the instrument.
Armatrading left school at the age of 15 to help support her family She lost her first job (as a typist and comptometer operator) after taking her guitar to work and playing it during tea-breaks.
