So Tell Me What You Want by Nicki Chapman review – breaking pop’s glass ceiling

The TV presenter and former music PR on her eventful rise through the ranks of a male-dominated industry

Chapman, born in Herne Bay, a quiet seaside town in Kent, quickly made a name for herself in the big city, moving to London and up the music industry ranks. When Chapman talks about the likes of Robbie Williams or Billie Piper being too young and too overworked and their mental health suffering as a result – conversations that have only really started to be had in the last few years – it jars with the book’s perceived “present”. So Tell Me What You Want: My Story of Making It in the Mad, Bad and Fab Pop Music Industry by Nicki Chapman is published by Little, Brown (£22).
