Joan Armatrading is a British singer, songwriter, and guitarist born on December 9, 1950 in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis. She moved to Birmingham, England with her family in 1957 and later relocated to London in the early 1970s to pursue her musical career. With two Brit award nominations for best female vocalist and an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection in 1996, Armatrading has established herself as a highly acclaimed artist.

In addition to her accolades, Armatrading has been nominated three times for a Grammy Award. Notably, she became the first UK female artist to receive a Grammy nomination in the Blues category for her album "Into The Blues" released in 2007. Her contributions to music were recognized further when she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2001.

Armatrading's talent extends beyond performing as she owns Bumpkin Studios, a recording facility located at her home in Surrey. This purpose-built studio has been instrumental in producing most of her albums since "Sleight of Hand". Additionally, Armatrading was part of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" Tour in 2008.

Selected and arranged by the author, and featuring a foreword by revered record producer Glyn Johns, The Weakness In Me presents the lyrics of Joan Armatrading for the first time in one unique volume. Since the release of her debut album Whatever's For Us in 1972, Joan Armatrading has, across a fifty-year career, traversed styles and genres to create a monumental body of work. Acknowledged as the first British female singer/songwriter to gain international success, her writing is alive with intelligence and empathy and paints the human experience with insight and emotion. It also contains an introduction by Armatrading alongside annotations to a number of songs, giving a rare, personal glimpse into the creative process of a true pioneer.
