California Schemin': A True Story of Fakery, Money and Betrayal in the Music Industry

Autor Gavin Bain
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2026
**Soon to be a major motion picture directed by James McAvoy**
California Schemin' is the remarkable true story of how two rappers from Dundee duped the music industry out of hundreds of thousands of pounds. 

Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd – or Silibil N' Brains, as they became known – were two ordinary Scottish boys who shared an extraordinary dream: to become rap superstars. Creating new identities for themselves, they persuaded the music industry that they were the latest hot young talent from California. Silibil N' Brains then lived out that lie for more than two years, securing an enormous record deal with Sony and being catapulted into the industry high-life, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Madonna and Eminem. 

But they could never actually deliver and promote the album they were paid so much money to put together. As soon as they became famous, they would be recognised by anyone who had known them in their former lives in Scotland and the dream would evaporate. As the pressure mounted, there could be disastrous consequences … 

California Schemin' is a story of incredible highs and terrible lows, of doing whatever it takes to follow your dream.

Recenzii

‘A blistering, hedonistic rock ‘n’ roll party of a story, it is written with brio and self-deprecating laughs’ 
‘One of the most amazing, high octane, hedonistic morality tales of our time . . . An absolutely essential read’ 
'Jaw-dropping'
‘This is the story of a rapping duo who enjoyed one of the most ludicrous careers in the modern music industry . . . A right rollicking read, with lots of sex and drugs and wild, wild times’ 
‘This story is like Robin Hood for the 21st century and will sit alongside all the great rock ‘n’ roll stories in history’ 
‘You can’t put this book down! It’s got echoes of Trainspotting, Fight Club and A Clockwork Orange, but it’s not fiction – it’s real’ 
‘Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd probably persuaded themselves that the fib they chose to tell was the kind of white lie that would harm no one, least of all themselves. But it was to break up their friendship, alienate countless other friends, humiliate the British music industry and drive one of them to the brink of suicide’
