Overview:
" Prince is remembered as one of the greatest musicians and performers of all time. But before he achieved global superstardom, he was a child growing up in Minneapolis, with a universe of music inside him. From his first forays into writing songs with his school friends to his unprecedented three-album record deal at 19, and his surprise hit film Purple Rain to performing at the Super Bowl, Prince was never afraid to blaze his own trail—creating something entirely new, entirely free, and entirely PRINCE that would shape music and culture and resonate with audiences for generations to come."
Tantalizing taste:
"Prince understood that a true superpower
is something you create out of love, hard work, and joy.
By following his own path, day after day,
the small boy with a universe of music inside of him
grew up to become ...
The Purple One."
And something more: The author, Matthew Burgess, shared in the Author's Note: "The act of becoming was no accident. It was a bold creative feat, fueled by Prince's tremendous energy and daring. In addition to developing the skills he would need to become a serious musician, the young Prince studied his musical heroes, wrote out the lyrics of his favorite songs, and made 'vision lists' of the things he wanted to experience and accomplish."
