NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins
Publishers, today announced plans to publish the memoir of Grammy
Award-winning multi-platinum musician Wyclef Jean. Jean will be writing
the memoir with bestselling author and Rolling Stone writer Anthony
Bozza, who co-authored such books as Whatever You Say I Am with Eminem
and Tommyland with Tommy Lee.
The
book was acquired by Mauro DiPreta, Vice President and Associate
Publisher for It Books, from Richard Abate at 3 Arts Entertainment.
The
memoir will chronicle Wyclef's childhood in the tiny rural village of
La Serre in Haiti and his subsequent immigration to Brooklyn, NY, where
at the age of 9 he began his journey into pop culture. He will recount
his struggle between the double life he led as a preacher's son playing
music in church with becoming a young rapper trying to fit in with his
peers. The book will also document his monumental success as founding
member of The Fugees and then his impressive solo career where he
established himself as one of the most sought-after musicians,
performers, songwriters, and producers of his generation. Wyclef's work
as a global philanthropist, especially in his native country through
his work with Yele Haiti which he founded in 2005, will be featured in
the book. His philanthropic work has brought him worldwide attention
for his tireless efforts to change the way the world sees Haiti.
"I
am so happy to share my journey which took me from the hut to the
projects to the mansion," said Wyclef Jean. "I am just getting started
and feel so excited about It Books publishing the early stories from my
life."
"Wyclef has an incredible story, filled with drama, humor
and inspiration," said DiPreta. "It is above all a very human story,
not necessarily one of celebrity, and I'm happy to say that he is as
gifted a storyteller as he is a musician." Carrie Kania, Senior Vice
President and Publisher of It Books, said, "As we continue to grow the
new It Books list, Wyclef Jean is a perfect example of the kind of
talent we love working with--a passionate, innovative artist whose book
will transcend all expectations."

Buju Banton's Rasta Got Soul US Tour A Success / Reggae Bash 2009 Press Party
- Promoters Call It The Biggest Selling Reggae Tour Of The Year -
(New York, NY -- 12, October 2009) Gargamel Music, Inc. is pleased to report that over 15,000 fans have already witnessed the magic of Jamaican music icon, Buju Banton's Rasta Got Soul US Tour, which kicked off last month at the Trocadero Theater in Philadelphia. The buzz worthy Roots Reggae revue has since blazed through a string of successful shows in Maryland , Rhode Island , Connecticut , Maine , Massachusetts , New York , New Jersey , North Carolina , Virginia , Michigan and Ohio , and has been receiving rave reviews from day one:
"During the show, Banton's gruff, soulful voice captured the passion behind the hyperkinetic 'Murderer' and 'Willy (Don't Be Silly).' His band (including a drummer who sounded as though he had eight hands) was ridiculously tight, their arrangements elegant and dynamic without losing their frenetic feel. From the 'Wipeout'-based rhythm-backed rap of 'Me & Oonu' through to the soulful 'I Rise' to cribbing Michael Jackson's universal plea, 'Heal the World,' Banton proved he could make things right within his music." - Philadelphia Inquirer
This week, the Rasta Got Soul US Tour rolls into Colorado for two shows and then dips over to California, where the four-time Grammy-nominated artist, along with opening acts Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage , Nikki Burt and Angel Shalome , will play seven dates, before moving on to New Mexico, Texas, Georgia and Florida. Despite the ongoing smear campaign against Banton, promoters are already calling it the biggest selling Reggae tour of the year. Buju would like to thank the promoters, venues and especially the fans for their amazing show of support at this time. To the detractors, he offers the following statement:
"Throughout my travels as an artist, I have witnessed first hand the senseless atrocities being suffered by innocent people around the world and my heart goes out to them. I do not condone violence against anyone, including gays, and I have spent my career rallying against violence and injustice through music. At this point, I can only hope that my body of work speaks for itself and that anyone still offended by the lyrics of my youth will take the time to explore my catalog or come to one of my shows before reducing my character and entire musical repertoire to a single song."
