After a decades-long career spent guiding some of the most iconic names in music, film, and television through the most high-stakes moments of their lives, Nashville-based entertainment attorney John Mason is pulling back the curtain with the release of his memoir, Crazy Lucky.
A fixture in the entertainment world, John Mason has represented six Academy Award winners, advised members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and served as legal counsel to recording artists whose sales exceed 100 million records worldwide. He has been named Billboard Magazine’s “Entertainment Attorney of the Year” and has earned an A/V rating in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory for more than 30 years.
But Crazy Lucky isn’t just a who’s who of showbiz legends. It’s a deeply personal and often hilarious look at Mason’s improbable journey — from a butcher’s son in California with a knack for the guitar, to a world-class legal mind trusted by stars like Reba McEntire, Olivia Newton-John, Frankie Valli, Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones, the Jackson Five, and the Roy Orbison family. With humility, wit, and plenty of jaw-dropping stories, Mason takes readers inside the rooms where careers are made, crises are managed, and trust is everything.
