The Dream Of An Idol - (Book & CD) (Paperback)

"Keep breathing, Lloyd. I thought about my wife, my son. I thought about the other two contestants. I thought about my dream of being a musician, a song writer, an artist. Finally, ProVerb exhaled, 'The Top 2 Finalists are: Lloyd Cele and Elvis Blue!'"

Little did Lloyd Cele know back then that those few words would trade a life and mindset of lack for a life of focused and effective purpose. After being runner-up on South African Idols in 2010, Lloyd has become one of South Africa's most popular artists. He finds himself travelling the country performing at live events and recording songs with top producers. But success didn't come easy … this is his story.

The Dream Of An Idol tells of a harsh yet soulful journey from a destitute and fatherless upbringing in the poverty-stricken township of KwaMashu, to the highly acclaimed stages of Sun City in the South African Idols competition. His story is that of a 'dark horse', of literally coming from out of nowhere with nothing and risking everything for a dream. And the dream? To use his life as a blueprint.
