Genie Mendez, or 'Genny' as she is known, is the vocalist in Lycio, a rather splendid Brummie band. She has, I've since discovered, an amazing voice. Here's a link to Lycio's Soundcloud page and is well worth hearing. As I type I'm listening to their interview and session for BBC Introducing.
I met Genny earlier this week when she most kindly gave up some of her time to model for the Photosocial Group at the Midlands Art Centre. As well as being a beautiful young lady she exhibited tremendous grace and patience as a massed huddle of nascent photographers circled around and poked a bewildering variety of cameras and lenses at her!
It was good to meet such a confident, empowered young woman who doubtless is destined for great things.
