The StoryGraph's Genre Challenge 2024 - hosted by thestorygraph

A biography or memoir about/by a musician
Memoirs are written by the person they're about, while biographies are accounts of a person's life written by somebody else. Both are valid for this prompt, but they should be by or about musicians.
