Description
Spanning over half a century, this memoir takes readers on a journey through the author's life, from his vibrant childhood in Cuba, Hawaii, and Venezuela, to his early days in London and the start of his music career. The story is deeply personal, with the author sharing his unique perspective on the events that shaped his life and music. At the heart of the book is the author's relationship with Roxy Music, a band that opened doors to a global world of music and collaborations. However, the author hopes that readers will find his family history just as fascinating as his music adventures, which include being related to a Colombian pirate, a spy, and an Italian opera musician. A musician, record producer, and songwriter, the author has had a long and distinguished career, collaborating with some of the greatest names in popular music, including Bob Dylan, David Gilmour, and Brian Eno. This memoir is a unique glimpse into the life of one of the UK's best-known musicians, and is sure to appeal to fans of music, biography, and family history.
