About the book:

The must-read memoir from Darcus Beese – the UK’s first Black record company CEO and one of the greatest A&Rs of his generation. From growing up as a teenager on the streets of West London to running one of the biggest record labels in the world in New York – this is a truly remarkable rags to riches tale.

Rebel With a Cause is the story of how a teenage apprentice hairdresser from Fulham worked his way up from tea boy to head one of the UK’s biggest and most successful record labels, Island Records, signing and nurturing some of the greatest artists of the twenty-first century – from Amy Winehouse and Jessie J to U2 and Florence and the Machine.
