The name Yoyo is well known to Stock Aitken Waterman fans, appearing on the back covers of dozens of hit singles and albums. The long-time PWL engineer was an integral part of the team from May 1986 when he earned a job as an assistant at the new studios at the Vineyard, London. Yoyo (real name: Boyowa Olugbo) quickly established himself as a studio talent thanks to his remix work alongside fellow assistant Jamie Bromfield as the Extra Beat Boys and he was promoted to assist first Phil Harding and then engineer for Mike Stock and Matt Aitken. In this exclusive interview, Yoyo recalls early remixes he and Jamie did for artists like Mandy Smith and Dollar, and then talks about working with SAW and artists like Mel & Kim, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Bananarama, Donna Summer, Dead Or Alive, Sonia, The Reynolds Girls, Big Fun and more. He also reveals why he ultimately decided to move on from PWL as the '90s began.
