Backstage and Behind the Scenes: What a Teen Reporter Learned from Rock Stars and Performers

Backstage and Behind the Scenes features interviews and information from over 35 singers and performers including: Kelly Clarkson, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, 50 Cent, Nelly, Cody Simpson, Nelly Furtado, Journey, The Eagles, Styx, Foreigner, Carlos Santana, Capital Cities, Hot Chelle Rae, 311, Kris Allen, Ashley Monroe, Dropkick Murphys and others.

The book takes readers on an all-access tour of life in the music business, on the road, in the studios and on-stage. The performers share their stories and advice for finding success in music and in life.

Readers will learn that there is way more to these talented performers than just being able to sing or play an instrument. They are hard working, kind and intelligent. Many give back to causes and their communities.

The book was written by Matthew Pearlman, a 16 year old author and reporter from St. Louis, MO. This is Matthew's third book. He is the founder of TeensOnSports.com. Matthew has conducted over 800 interviews with athletes and entertainers. He has been credentialed for many major events and concerts.

A portion of the book proceeds will benefit anti-bullying charities.
