MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC

“In the end, I am saved by the music.

I have no idea what twist or turn the rollercoaster that is my life will take.

I am saved by God’s gift of love.

If through my words and music I can pass on that gift to the readers,

I am the happiest man on earth.”

— R. Kelly

Beyond the chart-topping hits and the controversial headlines, in Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me, Robert Sylvester Kelly lays bare the true life story of a complex soul and a musical genius. With searing honesty, he delivers a fascinating portrait of a gifted soul trapped in the conflicting realities “Bump N' Grind” sexuality and soul-stirring “I Believe I Can Fly” spirit.

Kelly’s spectacular rise from street performer to superstar who has sold more than 35 million records worldwide is chronicled in his most intimate and revealing project to date. This memoir written in three acts, employs the same dramatic plot twists and turns that mesmerized fans of Kelly’s hip-hopera Trapped in the Closet.

The beautifully designed volume includes more than 130 color photographs that offer a truly dimensional portrait of Robert Kelly, the mama’s boy, the brother, the artist, the father, and most of all, Robert the man.

“… a vivid and entertaining

journey that reveals much about the musical engine of a true artist.”

— Jesse Washington, Associated Press
