Synopsis

Inspiring, relatable, and totally true biographies tell the childhood stories of a diverse group of musicians, including Taylor Swift, Louis Armstrong, Harry Styles, Mariah Carey, Yo-Yo Ma, Paul McCartney, and 10 other influential performers. Every great musician started out as a kid—and many discovered their love of music early on. Whether they became world-famous pop stars, groundbreaking jazz artists, or award-winning songwriters, these musicians pushed boundaries and left their mark. In Kid Musicians, tune in to the childhood stories of musical legends such as: Beyoncé, who used to play truth or dare in the middle of the night with the rest of her music group. Dolly Parton, who sometimes made up her own title, author, and story when she had to give a book report in class. Louis Armstrong, who played instruments in parades all over New Orleans. Taylor Swift, who grew up on a Christmas tree farm! Kid Musicians highlights renowned musicians who have made an impact on the world of music.
