About this audiobook

A Billboard Must-Read Fall 2015 Music Book
The first comprehensive biography ever published about America's favorite living pop icon, Beyoncé, from New York Times bestselling biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli.

Beyoncé Knowles is a woman who began her career at the age of eight performing in pageant shows and talent contests, honing her craft through her teenage years until, at the age of 16, she had her first number one record with Destiny's Child. That hit-making trio launched Beyoncé's successful solo career, catapulting her, as of 2014, to #1 on Forbes annual list of most wealthy celebrities--the same year she made the cover of Time. BECOMING BEYONCÉ is not only the story of struggle, sacrifice, and what it takes to make it in the cut-throat record industry, it's the story of the great rewards of such success and the devastating toll it often takes on the human spirit.

Baylee Littrell (on The Backstreet Boys, New Music, Touring, Dad Brian, & John Mayer!): Baylee Littrell steps Behind The Rope. If that last name sounds familiar to you, that is because his Dad is one of the members of the Iconic Backstreet Boys. There is much more to Baylee though than his famous last name. Baylee knew from a young age music was in his blood. He started writing songs in his pre-teen years and made his Broadway debut at the young age of thirteen in “Disaster”. Baylee’s biggest musical influences are Tim McGraw, John Mayer and Florida Georgia Line. Baylee’s debut album, 770-Country, was released to rave reviews, the latest single “Some Guys” which just dropped. Baylee performed the majority of this album as an opening act for The Backstreet Boys on the North American leg of their sold out DNA World Tour.

This audiobook is a very thorough account of Beyoncé's life, including her childhood, rise to fane, and professional success as a member of Destiny's Child and a solo artist. I preferred the earlier chapters that described Beyoncé's ancestors' history, the early days of her parents' relationship, and Bey's childhood and initial interest in singing, performing, and music. I found the audio to be riveting at times, and the narrator's voice and reading style are superb!
