About this audiobook
From early days filled with the joy of discovery to the harsh realities of chasing dreams, The SPA Treatment takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the highs and lows of one artist's life. Born in Romania and raised in Sweden, the author found solace in music, creativity, and technology, achieving the dream of being featured on Spotify's coveted playlists. But just as his music are set to take off Spotify introduces the PFC program which pulls out his tracks from the playlists and his success unraveled into financial struggles, professional setbacks, and self-doubt, they were left grappling with the painful consequences of ambition.
In this candid and moving memoir, the author explores what it means to follow one's passion while living with autism, the allure and peril of fame.
Both a cautionary tale and an inspiring story of reinvention, The book invites readers to reflect on their own aspirations and the lengths they'll go to achieve them.
