Book Description

March 1, 2008
Rock to the Top is classic business advice set to the tune of rock and roll. Award winning rock radio personality, Dayna Steele, has composed a collection of lessons about the importance of passion, confidence, organization, networking, knowledge, the need for appreciation and the power of a brand. Rock to the Top is as much a business book as it is a romp through backstage anecdotes with the likes of Aerosmith, Van Halen and KISS. An added bonus are the photos peppered throughout the book featuring Jon Bon Jovi, Sting and more...all from the author's personal collection. Foreword by Gene Simmons, founding member of KISS and legendary businessman.

About the Author

Dayna Steele, best known as Houston's First Lady of Radio ruled the rock airwaves for almost two decades. Honored by Billboard Magazine as Local Radio Personality of the Year in 1996, Steele was also included in Talkers Magazine's 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts. Steele spent years traveling the globe and interviewing countless bands and rock stars like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, Bono and Sammy Hagar...to name a few. The great music and insights bestowed upon Steele by these rock legends were what inspired Rock to the Top. Since leaving the airwaves she has gone on to head up a successful marketing and public relations firm, a space-related e-commerce company and SmartGirlsRock.com - an online community for girls destined to be tomorrow's leaders, scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Advice, June 25, 2008
By 
T. Touchstone (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rock To The Top - What I Learned About Success From The World's Greatest Rock Stars (Paperback)
I've known Dayna for some time now, and even so, I never told her the story of the night Roger Glover of Deep Purple sat with me until 3am in a hotel lobby and told me everything that Dayna is telling you in this book! I was trying to make it as a woman in music business management, rock 'n roll end, and it was tough!! Thanks to Roger's great advice, I'm still able to do some good marketing and have a lot of fun ... in an entirely different area. To be succinct, everything he told me worked .. like a charm. Dayna is telling you exactly the same thing.

So, I have recommended Dayna's book to all young musicians I know. Everything she tells you in there is true and dead on. Read it, read it again, and then read it again and take notes. Wait! She's already done the notes for you!

I'm telling you. It's all there. Get this book. It is a must-have for anyone wanting to make it in the music business (or any other business)!

Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE, June 17, 2008
This review is from: Rock To The Top - What I Learned About Success From The World's Greatest Rock Stars (Paperback)
Dayna Steele, Rock to the Top is an inspiring read, written with stories from her experience with some of the world's greatest rock stars. In addition to what it takes to rock to the top in whatever profession you have chosen, do it with passion, preparation and treat people with integrity. The book addresses how to be successful and draws you into a world of winners, of what to do and what not to do in your adventure to Rock to the Top. We are the Champions is a subtitle in the book where it's mentioned, passion gives you energy. She writes with simple to remember subtitles and stories that make the points poignant and unforgettable. I would not characterize this as self help but certainly motivational and if that doesn't intrigue you then the pictures of the stars in the back of the book will. I have read self help and always end up wondering what the writer was going through and how they actually got there, leaving me with no more answers than when I started reading. This book leaves nothing to the imagination of how to be your best and be successful at your chosen passion. What will you learn about success from the world's greatest rock star stories? Everything you need to know to find your passion and enjoy the read while you Rock to the Top.
