If you engage Josie offstage and outside her comfort zone as an entertainer, you would probably be forgiven for thinking that she is a shy, even introverted young woman, who is simply seeking, as we say in Guyana, to get on with her own life.
That she is doing in a way which, perhaps, you might not expect. ‘In another life,’ so to speak, Josie, a 21 year-old Lindener, is, unmistakably, an emerging musical talent. Her voice, bearing the unmistakable control of an accomplished singer, stops you in your tracks, so to speak, as it did last Friday, when she made an unheralded appearance ‘on stage’ at the Courtyard Mall, directly opposite the Stabroek News, with no more than a guitar for accompaniment.
