Publisher's Summary

Before he was the charismatic singer of Black Veil Brides and an accomplished solo artist under the Andy Black moniker, he was Andrew Dennis Biersack, an imaginative and creative kid in Cincinnati, Ohio, struggling with anxiety, fear, loneliness, and the impossible task of fitting in.

With his trademark charm, clever wit, and insightful analysis, Biersack tells the story of his childhood and adolescence and the discovery of the artistic passions that would shape his life, and his decision to move to Hollywood after his 18th birthday to make his dreams come true, even when it meant living in his car to make it all a reality. It's the origin story of one of modern rock's most exciting young superheroes, from building miniature concerts with KISS action figures in his bedroom to making the RIAA gold-certified single "In the End" and connecting with passionate fans worldwide.

So worth it

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Whether you're a BVB or Andy Black fan, are into the alternative music scene, or just enjoy biographies, this one is worth a listen. Huge bonus that Andy narrates it himself, it really helps pull out the nuances from the events he describes, plus his voice is beautiful. This book is honest, and it delivers hope, and I think that's something any listener can appreciate.

Amazing!

Listening to the life story and creation of Black Veil Brides from Andy Biersack himself was amazing. So many new things learned from this book and even more adoration for Andy and BVB. So glad the passion came back and we have been given so many great albums since Vale. Andy's journey is truly inspiring.
