ELFI KÜSTER
Elfi Küster was head of press and promotion at the US media group WEA/Warner Music for many years and a successful veteran of the entertainment business during its golden age. The top stars trusted her. Everyone knows the hits that came about thanks to her influence, but hardly anyone outside this dazzling world knows what music promoters do and experience. This is exactly what Elfi writes about in her book ‘Im Nachtzug mit Madonna’ (On the Night Train with Madonna). In a fast-paced and entertaining way, she offers a glimpse behind the scenes of backdrops, image and make-up. The stories are touching, showing the harshness of this business, but also the great joy of reaching the hearts of music fans.
