Music has always been Claire Steven's lifeblood. She grew up in New York City, with the top radio stations in the world, broadcasting live, just blocks from her apartment building! So it’s not surprising that she developed a dream to be the disc jockey dropping the needle on all those records—and have a jingle with her name in it.

Today, with a string of notable achievements behind her, Claire shares the incredible stories behind the music from her perspective—behind the mic. Gleaned from years of interviews, these are stories told mostly in the artists’ own words…and what stories they have to tell! Digging deep into the nitty-gritty of the artists’ lives, Claire learned about the “ups” and successes of their careers and personal lives, and the “downs” too, and she was struck by the universality of many of their experiences. Music lovers of all ages will enjoy peeking behind the scenes at the superstars who are, in the end, men and women trying to live their lives and build careers just like everyone else.
