I'LL NEVER WRITE MY MEMOIRS

In her first-ever memoir, iconic music and film legend Grace Jones gives an in-depth account of her stellar career, professional and personal life, and the signature look that catapulted her into the stardom stratosphere.

Grace Jones, a veritable “triple-threat” as acclaimed actress, singer, and model, has dominated the entertainment industry since her emergence as a model in New York City in 1968. Quickly discovered for her obvious talent and cutting-edge style, Grace signed her first record deal in 1977 and became one of the more unforgettable characters to emerge from the Studio 54 disco scene, releasing the all-time favorite hits “Pull Up to the Bumper,” “Slave to the Rhythm,” and “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect for You).” With her sexually charged, outrageous live shows in the New York City nightclub circuit, Grace soon established herself as a queen of night life.

With the dawn of the ’80s came a massive anti-disco movement across the US, leading Grace to focus on experimental-based work and put her two-and-a-half-octave voice to good use. It was around this time she adopted a detached, androgynous image. In this first-ever memoir, Grace gives an exclusive look into the transformation of her signature style and discusses how she expanded her musical triumph to success in the acting world, beginning with the 1984 fantasy-action film Conan the Destroyer alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, then the James Bond movie A View to a Kill, and later in Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang.

Featuring sixteen pages of stunning full-color photographs, I’ll Never Write My Memoirs takes us on a journey from Grace’s religious upbringing in Jamaica to her heyday in Paris and New York in the ’70s and ’80s, all the way to present-day London, in what promises to be a no holds barred tell-all for the ages.

TELL-ALL FROM AN ENTERTAINMENT LEGEND: Since breaking onto the scene in the late 1960s, Grace Jones has been a true juggernaut of force in the music and film industries. With millions of records sold (her 1985 album Slave to the Rhythm sold over one million copies worldwide), Grace's star continues to rise; in 2008 she released Hurricane, her first studio album in over nineteen years, followed up by the Hurricane Dub version in 2011, reigniting the "Grace Craze" and widening her fan base to include the next generation of beat-boppers and R&B lovers!

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST: This is Grace's first-ever memoir, containing never-before-publicized information about both her professional and personal life. Fans will be clamoring to nab an inside look at the woman who changed the face of the entertainment industry with her talent and signature style.

STYLIN' IN HER SIXTIES: Grace brought a sense of individuality and unique style to her music that was unprecedented in the business; her iconic costumes and pageantry has been emulated by next-generation stars such as Lady Gaga, but nothing can compare to the original. At sixty-four, Grace is still absolutely the uncontested style maven of the music industry, and this memoir will feature the four-color exclusive photographs to prove it!

Grace Jones is a model-singer-actress as beloved for her films and music as she is for her eccentric personal style.

Her film credits include roles in Conan the Destroyer (1982), A View to a Kill (1985), and Boomerang (1992). Miss Grace Jones is her first memoir.
