This program is read by Alicia Keys, with special guest appearances by family and friends, including Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, and Michelle Obama.

An intimate, revealing look at one artist’s journey from self-censorship to full expression

As one of the most celebrated musicians in the world, Alicia Keys has enraptured the globe with her heartfelt lyrics, extraordinary vocal range, and soul-stirring piano compositions. Yet away from the spotlight, Alicia has grappled with private heartache - over the challenging and complex relationship with her father, the people-pleasing nature that characterized her early career, the loss of privacy surrounding her romantic relationships, and the oppressive expectations of female perfection.

Since Alicia rose to fame, her public persona has belied a deep personal truth: She has spent years not fully recognizing or honoring her own worth. After withholding parts of herself for so long, she is at last exploring the questions that live at the heart of her story: Who am I, really? And once I discover that truth, how can I become brave enough to embrace it?

More Myself is part autobiography, part narrative documentary. Alicia’s journey is revealed not only through her own candid recounting, but also through vivid recollections from those who have walked alongside her. The result is a 360-degree perspective on Alicia’s path, from her girlhood in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem to the process of growth and self-discovery that we all must navigate.

In More Myself, Alicia shares her quest for truth - about herself, her past, and her shift from sacrificing her spirit to celebrating her worth. With the raw honesty that epitomizes Alicia's artistry, More Myself is at once a riveting account and a clarion call to listeners: To define themselves in a world that rarely encourages a true and unique identity.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

"[Alicia Keys] often sings snippets of her music, which brings her story to life and elevates the listening experience. Spoken cameos from everyone from her husband to Michelle Obama add another layer of interest to the audiobook. Keys fans will be delighted by the behind-the-scenes stories she shares; those unfamiliar with her music will still enjoy her upbeat, unpretentious narration." (Booklist)

PHENOMENAL

Absolutely loved it. Finished it in one day. I just couldn't stop listening. This is a brilliant piece of work.

Fantastic

Wow!!! Such an amazing effort!! I have always loved Alicia Keys, but now I do even more. thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your life.

What is not to love

I love how vulnerable she was, how real. It was extra special because it was in her voice. She made me smile and cry. Just wow.

Emboldened to Be More Myself

I adore the concept of this audio book. From Alicia Keys' narration and music to her guest collaborators voicing their own words, I was drawn into the spell of Alicia's becoming "More Myself." There's a magnetism in her authenticity that made listening feel as though she was in a one-on-one conversation with me. I was turned onto the book because of Alicia's conversation on Unlocking Us with Brene Brown. There is such power in telling our stories. The retelling is always a journey of self-discovery. Alicia, thank you for opening your life and sharing your wisdom. May I be emboldened to be more myself.

Awesome story of success

Alicia’s story is one part her musical success but even more meaningful is her journey to self-discovery. A must read for all women as we take the journey while supporting each other. Thank you Alicia, my eyes are open a little wider.
