Celebra, a division of Penguin Group (USA), will publish the first book from Colombian rock star Juanes on Tuesday, April 2nd, it was announced today by Celebra Publisher Raymond Garcia.  English- and Spanish-language editions of the heavily anticipated and visually arresting photo-throughout, full color memoir—entitled Chasing the Sun and Persiguiendo el sol respectively—will be released simultaneously.

In Chasing the Sun, Juanes personally penned intimate details about his life and provides a number of stunning images, including some never-before-seen personal photographs. The Latin music superstar reveals aspects of his professional life - including his early musical influences, the creation and disbanding of Colombia’s leading hard rock band Ekhymosis, the start of his solo career and the global commercial success that followed, and the challenges and consequences of increased fame. Juanes also opens up about his personal life: the effects of witnessing corruption and violence in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia at a young age; his regret and remorse surrounding his father’s death; falling in love with his wife and the birth of their three children; why his faith was challenged; and how he has been able to redefine his relationship with God, reinvent his career, and reaffirm his unyielding love for his family.

Juanes writes, "This [book] is an expression of pure friendship and a sincere way of saying thanks to everyone who has supported my music over the years. It’s not my job to write books, Not in the least,…But I felt that if I really did this, it would be for you to learn who I truly am: who it is behind the songs you hear, Why I make the music I make, and why I think the way I think.”
