Synopsis
X-Factor judge, Louis Walsh, has managed acts such as Westlife, Girls Aloud, Shayne Ward and G4. He formerly steered Boyzone to chart topping success and also propelled Ronan Keating to solo stardom. Now he plans to guide other budding pop stars to superstar success with his "Fast Track to Fame". Louis has succeeded in notching up a staggering 28 number one singles through his stable of artists and has starred alongside Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne on X-Factor for three years. Now he is sharing his expertise with a new generation of pop wannabees. "Fast Track to Fame" takes us through the A-Z of the music business (or from A is for Agents to X is for X-Factor) with the honest truth of how the pop industry really works. The book is peppered throughout with contributions and anecdotes from many of Louis' stars, stories of their own successes and setbacks, and lavishly illustrated with exclusive colour photographs. It is essential reading for anyone, of any age, dreaming of becoming a star.

Customer Reviews

Great advice
When I saw all the photos I thought it might be for kids but it has really good advice for anyone wanting to work in the music business. The book is for anyone who wants to be a pop star but it's good for anyone who wants to work in the business. The best chapter is one on jobs with lots of ideas about how to get your foot in the door. I think it's really good and easy to read.
