Life Lessons

'10% of it is magic, a good 5% of it is actual skill, and the rest of it is stars aligning and hard-ass work.'

Estelle burst on the scene as the young West London rapper and singer who put the world on notice with her dazzling debut album, The 18th Day. She rapidly became a bona fide star, winning Grammy, BET and MOBO awards, working with the likes of John Legend, Kanye West and Mark Ronson, and expanding her career beyond music into acting in Steven Universe and hosting her own podcast on Apple Music. This success didn't come about by accident.

In Life Lessons, Estelle shares stories from her life and career, peeling back the curtain on the music business. Written in four parts - early lessons, breaking through, consolidation and legacy - this is not only an extraordinary life story but also, as she herself writes, 'a readable, tangible blueprint' for navigating the path to becoming a creative artist.
