Publisher's Synopsis
A Guide to Getting Backstage is a memoir that attempts to help music-lovers everywhere learn how to get into parties for free, gain access to VIP experiences, and how to have fun while doing it. Through the author's own journey, the book aims to show how anyone can take their passions and make them part of their everyday lives, possibly even a career.
Featuring some of the writer's published articles and concert stories about Prince, The Fugees, Beastie Boys, M.I.A., Talib Kweli, Laidback Luke and Avicii, the author shares her accounts on these musical moments that formed her career. The story also goes behind the scenes at some of the biggest festivals of our generation including Coachella, EDC, Notting Hill Carnival, Love Parade, Winter Music Conference, Sonar, Hideout, Hard, Holy Ship and on. Life hacks that the author has learned are sprinkled throughout the pages, leading up to a 10-step guide on how to get backstage. It also includes a bonus rule about getting into Berghain, the infamous club in Berlin. The story aims to relate to all, tell stories both good and bad about the effort it takes to make it in a career of your dreams, and ultimately inspire others to take risks and make their passions a reality, too.
