Naked in the Spotlight: My Life with Sex, Singing and Scientology Kindle Edition
by Mark Janicello (Author)
Paperback $12.00
Kindle $9.99
“Naked in the Spotlight” tells the life story of Mark Janicello, the multi-talented New Yorker, whose career defies easy categorization. Janicello's life reads like a typical American show business success story, until Scientology crossed the young performer's path. Janicello unexpectedly landed in the crossfire of a 13-year, international hate campaign that befits a Tom Clancy novel, more than the autobiography of an artist.

Janicello's life has been more bizarre than any fiction. Crushed between Scientology's enemies within several European governments and the cult itself, he went from stardom to "persona non grata", virtually overnight. He lost millions in contracts and appearances. He was arrested, blacklisted, slandered, publicly humiliated, and was often forced to perform with police protection.
Having worked side-by-side with the highest level of the Church's Management, Janicello travelled tens of thousands of miles in one year for the C.O.S.. His insights into the mentality and internal machinations of this very secretive organization, have never been told in this manner before.
At the time of the biggest protests, the Scientology Organization -- for whom Janicello had become not only their public face, but also their biggest fundraiser as well -- left him to die. After unsuccessful trips to the famed “Scientology Celebrity Center” in Los Angeles to gather support from John Travolta, Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley, Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman and others -- Janicello soon came to the terrible realization that he had been abandoned. He left Scientology for good in 2003.
“I underestimated the enemies of the Church, and vastly over-estimated my “friends” in Scientology."
“Naked in the Spotlight” chronicles one man's journey of self-discovery, told through the prism of his multi-facted career and played out against the rough streets of New York and Europe's most glamorous cities. A true 20th Century anti-hero, Janicello's candor reveals an ebullient personality and a troubled man, fraught with human weakness, thrust unprepared, in the position of fighting for his very existence. Janicello's life has been more bizarre than any fiction.
“At the end of the day, what I learned is that a religion or a philosophy can give you tools, but the only person who is going to save you, is you .”
Biography
Mark Janicello was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1962. He made his first solo appearance as a boy soprano at four years old and has been onstage, or in front of a camera, ever since.
In an amazing and eventful career, in 1992, he first conquered both the New York Subways and New York audiences as a street singer winning the KFC Musical Feast and the title "America’s Best Street Performer." His $15.000, prize-winning appearance in New York's Grand Central Station featured a virtuoso performance including multiple musical and vocal styles which based on the idea: „What if Elvis never died but just turned into Pavarotti?“
