Ranking Miss P

Ranking Miss P is a British radio presenter, born in London to Jamaican parents.

After leaving school, Miss P was studying to become a teacher, but instead was persuaded by her brother Lepke to start broadcasting on his community radio station, Dread Broadcasting Corporation (DBC), the first black station in Europe.

In 1983, Miss P was approached by BBC Television to compose and perform visual promotional trails and the theme song for their weekly magazine programme "Ebony".

On 31 March 1985 she began presenting a weekly reggae show on BBC Radio 1 on Sunday nights. It was Radio 1's first ever show dedicated solely to reggae music, and Miss P was one of the station's first black presenters.

She went on to present a programme called "Riddim and Blues" on BBC London 94.9 on Saturday nights, in which she played a wide variety of black music. She has two sons and a daughter.

Both Lepke (real name Leroy Anderson) and Ranking Miss P are the younger siblings of Bob Marley's wife Rita Marley.
