In this wonderful and honest book, The X Factor winner and bona fide
pop star Sam Bailey tells her unique story and reveals what happens
when you have the courage to follow your dreams. Born in south-east
London, Sam always loved to sing and was encouraged by her mother to
enter talent shows from an early age. Overcoming her shyness, Sam soon
realized her true calling in life was to entertain and perform, and
she slowly began taking steps along the rocky road to super-stardom.
From the ups and downs of working as an entertainer at a Pontins
holiday camp, to the endless grind of the cruise ship circuit, Sam
always dreamed of making it to the top. Years later she began work as
a prison officer and continued pursuing her singing career in fits and
starts. Inspired to audition for the UK's biggest talent show, Sam
stood in front of The X Factor panel and sang '?Listen' by one of her
favourite artists, Beyoncé. Fast forward a year later and Sam was
supporting Beyoncé on her world tour, having seen both her debut
single and album go straight to number one. From the grind of the
amateur singing circuit and the highs and lows of The X Factor, to the
pressures of juggling a music career while being a full-time mum,
Daring to Dream is a roller coaster ride of emotion and a wonderful
story of courage and sheer determination.
