Anthony Bozza

    Anthony Bozza je autorom siedmich bestsellerov, ktoré sa ponorili do životov a myslí hudobných a popkultúrnych ikon. Jeho písanie vyniká schopnosťou získať si dôveru subjektov a zároveň preniknúť k podstate ich príbehov, skúmajúc, ako ich skúsenosti odrážajú širšie spoločenské a kultúrne otázky. Bozza sa primárne zameriava na skúmanie vplyvu hudby a celebrity na americkú kultúru a rasu. Jeho kariéra začala v Rolling Stone, kde svojimi portrétmi zachytával kľúčové momenty popkultúry, a pokračovala písaním autobiografií a životopisov významných osobností.

      Eminem's journey to fame was anything but straightforward. Born in Kansas City and raised in the Detroit area, he and his mother settled in East Detroit when he was 12. Frequent school changes made it hard to form friendships, graduate, and avoid trouble. However, rap became his refuge, with lunchtime battles providing a reprieve from his struggles. Despite dropping out of school and juggling low-paying jobs, his passion for music remained unwavering. His debut album, Infinite, released in 1996, was met with disappointment, prompting him to create the Slim Shady EP, a project that resonated with the underground hip-hop scene. By being authentic, Eminem's career began to flourish. A chance meeting with Wendy Day from the Rap Coalition led to his participation in the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, where he secured second place in freestyle. During this trip, he and his manager handed demos to Interscope Records, leading to his major radio debut on the Wake Up Show, where he captivated listeners with his intense performance. Today, Eminem is a global superstar, known for his controversial and brilliant artistry, and his fans eagerly anticipate insights into his life and career.

      Die Autobiografie

      Eine wahnwitzige Rockgeschichte - die hoffentlich keine Blaupause für angehende Rockstars ist ... Slash, alias Saul Hudson, geboren am 23. Juli 1965 in London, ist ein echter "Guitar Hero". Seine Geschichte, das erste autobiografische Buch eines Mitglieds von Guns N'Roses, ist beispielhaft und doch einzigartig. Slash erzählt die Wahrheit über seine Jahre als Rockstar in einer der größten Bands des letzten Jahrhunderts, verschweigt nichts und verschont niemanden - am wenigsten sich selbst.

    • Let there be Rock Jeder liebt AC/DC. Von der Dorfdisco bis zum Fußballstadion gilt: Wenn die Gitarrenriffs von Angus Young ertönen, gehen sie alle in Luftgitarrenstellung und machen mit der Hand den Teufelsgruß. Ganz gleich, ob es sich um eingefleischte Rockfans, Technojünger oder Verteidigungsminster Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg handelt. Bestsellerautor Anthony Bozza ergründet das Phänomen AC/DC auf ganz eigene Art und Weise. AC/DC verkaufen mehr Platten als Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen oder die Rolling Stones. Ihre Konzerte sind in Minutenschnelle ausverkauft, dennoch wurden sie von den Musikjournalisten lange Zeit eher ignoriert und belächelt. Mit »Warum AC/DC die Größten sind« hat Bestsellerautor Anthony Bozza eine Kampfschrift und Liebeserklärung verfasst, in der er es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, die Einzigartigkeit und Genialität der Band zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Er liefert faszinierende Geschichten und Einblicke hinter die Kulissen der größten Rockband unserer Tage, wobei ihm Rockstars wie Slash, aber auch eingeschworene Fans und Musikwissenschaftler unterstützen. Hochwertige Ausstattung in Lederoptik.
