Rick adds, “I’m hard-pressed to express how honored I am to have completed this audiobook with my dear friend, Wendy.

Rick came into the music industry in the 1980s when there was no path, so he created the path,' says Wendy Day. Slick Rick is a legend in the music industry and his voice is iconic. Wendy wrote the book, How To Get A Record Deal, and Rick offered to lend his voice to the audio book version. Two friends dedicated to helping a new generation of artists and performers.
