Prince: Inside the Music and the Masks

A comprehensive biography of the music icon's life and career—with a new introduction and chapter on his final years and lasting legacy.

In his three decades of recording, Prince had nearly thirty albums hit the Billboard Top 100 and won him millions of adoring fans the world over. In Prince, acclaimed music journalist Ronin Ro delves into his trailblazing journey from anonymity to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and beyond.

Ro traces Prince’s rise from anonymity in the late 70s, to his catapult to stardom in the 80s, to his reemergence in the twenty-first century as an artistic icon. Along the way, he demonstrates how Prince and his albums helped define and inspire a generation. Prince not only trail-blazed his own sound and style—he also confronted labels, fostered emerging talents, and took ownership of his music, making a profound mark on the entertainment industry and pop culture.
