Pepsi Demacque-Crockett has enjoyed a long and fulfilling career within the entertainment industry through the 1980s and 1990s, as part of the pop band WHAM! and later in the duo Pepsi and Shirlie. Pepsi's parents arrived in Britain from the island of Saint Lucia in the mid-1950s and settled in West London. Island Song, her debut novel, is inspired by their story. She grew up surrounded by a vibrant Caribbean community with music as her backdrop. She now lives on Saint Lucia, the country of her parents’ birth, with her husband, James, but is still a London girl at heart.
