The more I listened, the more my curiosity to know the person behind the music grew. Their persona on stage, the adulation they received from their listeners completely overshadowed the real person. I chose my camera to tell my story. Over the last 25 years, I’ve put together exclusive photos, interviews and anecdotes from these greats describing life, family, love and most importantly, music – all in one book. Every image in this book has been shot exclusively by me for this project, and captures their lives both on and off stage. The quotations are drawn from my personal interviews with each artist. This book is one-of-a-kind, with the largest number of geniuses in one book. When you flip through the pages, you will get a feel of the essential personalities of these artists as well as the insight that they have garnered from life and from music. Decades of musical genius, collated knowledge, and dedication to their art and craft, have been synthesised in this book. The book has 288 pages (Size:12″x12″) with 158 colour photographs and 130 Black & White photographs.
