Boney M

Everyone knows the name, everyone knows at least one of their songs. Now meet the very original member Maizie Williams.

The success of the group is the result of producer Frank Farian recording a song in 1974 entitled Baby Do You Want To Bump and releasing it under the pseudonym of Boney M. By the end of the year television stations and clubs wanted to see Boney M live. The producer did not want to go on stage so he used an agency to find three girls and a guy. Thus the first Boney M line up with Maizie Williams.

Audiences worldwide have been thrilled by the energetic visual performances of all their well-loved songs. Maizie most definitely the M in Boney M, has revitalized the songs live, while keeping the same lyrics, giving the songs a new modern sound that will have all generations toe tapping, clapping and jumping up and down to the new melodic beat.
