Synopsis

Singer-songwriter Mike Spears has announced the release of his debut book, Reason Why I Sing. To protect the identities of those involved, Mike turned what was supposed to be a no-holds-barred tell all story about his experience as an artist for a major label, into a fictional drama-filled cautionary tale. Even though names, companies, and other details have been changed the stories documented are all based on real-life events. The glitz, glam, fame, and fortune have lured millions to the audition lines of star making shows like; American Idol, X-Factor and the Voice. But what we see on television is only a small fraction of the true reality people may face. “Reason Why I Sing” host heart-wrenching details of what may await for hopefuls as they enter the entertainment business. During his time as a signed artist, Spears recalls being sexually manipulated by other men in the music business. For the first time, Mike Spears opens up about the struggles of being gay/bi-sexual in a heterosexual dominated industry and his close encounters with HIV/AIDS. “I am exposing a lot about myself. I become completely naked and allow my flaws to show in this story. I’ve lived a life where I have pretended to be more than I was, till one day I was sick of myself. I had grown annoyed with who I was because it was fake and lacking substance,” says Spears of those days.

The little confidence I had has been traded in along with my soul for a chance at stardom. Many have wondered; what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
