About this listen
Legendary music producer LA Reid - the man behind artists such as Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Kanye West, Rihanna, TLC, Outkast, Pink, Justin Bieber, and Usher - changed the music business forever. Now he tells his story, taking fans on an intimate tour of his life. Sing to Me is a fascinating journey from Reid's small-town R&B roots in Cincinnati, Ohio, and his work as a drummer to his fame as a Grammy Award-winning music producer and his gig as a judge on the hit reality show The X Factor.
Reid takes listeners behind the scenes of the music industry, charting his rise to fame and sharing stories of the countless singers he's met, nurtured, and molded into stars. Part music memoir, part inspirational business guide, Sing to Me is full of Reid's trademark passion and ingenuity and introduces a multifaceted genius who continues to shape pop culture today.

Loved this book
What an inspiring journey. I loved every second of this book. I listened to all of the songs mentioned with a deeper understanding of the artist and the song. LA Reid’s drive and determination is something we should all possess. It really shows what believing in yourself, having ambition, following your passion, and just being a good person can do in life. Takes you to the highest of heights.

Amazing read.
interesting insight into one of the world's leading record producers. A true artist. His insecurity and passion was on display. I think that's what drove him. Narrator was great!

Inspiring, fantastic story of a music biz legend
Couldn't stop listening to this. Worth every penny. LA Reid reminds us how far resilience and an ear for a hit record can take you.

Must listen for those who are fans of LA Reid
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It provides a great insight, through LA Reid's life, into key aspects of the music industry such as identifying and managing talent and the subtle differences between running large labels and small labels and labels with strong identities.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sing to Me?
LA becoming the president of Def Jam which had a strong rap identity and which raised problems of authenticity because LA was not a "rap guy" and the artists and other staff were not buying into him running the label - which was resolved by bringing in Jay-Z to manage the label (which was a tight negotiation) who was well respected.
What does Dion Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He has a great voice and enunciation was brilliant - wasn't annoying like some narrators can be.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Can't come up with a good one!
Any additional comments?
None.

You can't go wrong! 5/5
My only gripe about this book is that it's too short!
I'd love to see a book by his ex wife pebbles
