This isn’t a book about wealth. It’s a story about what we forgot to build with it.
What you are about to read is a “true” story, presented as fiction, because, let’s face it, you wouldn’t believe us if we told you it was true anyway.
This is a work of parody and satire—at times deadly serious, at others, seriously funny. Either way, we’re not kidding. Except when we are.
It was pieced together from over 2,000 hours of eavesdroppings and on-camera interviews around The Billionaire’s Campfire at Songa Studios ST LOUIS, as well as off-the-record interviews, behind-the-scenes studio recordings, live rehearsals, iPhoneX recordings of Uber rides with a dude named Duuntu, and other first-person accounts.
Dates, locations and other identifying details have been carefully disguised to protect the innocent…
…and the guilty.
Enjoy.
The Billionaire’s Campfire is more than a book—it’s the spark that ignites The World of SONGA.LIVE, a genre-defying, immersive experience where storytelling, music, and social reinvention collide, blurring the lines between page and stage, book and Broadway.
Forged in the creative fires of Songa Studios ST LOUIS, this interactive musical audiobook unfolds in real time—right here, before your eyes, and ears. It beckons readers, listeners, and visionaries to co-create a new kind of cultural legacy—not written in ink alone, but improvised in the moment, a daring collaboration between artists, families, and the bold entrepreneurs who dare to dream with them.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S CAMPFIRE: A “True” Story About Culture, Capitalism, Community and Coming Home is the opening chapter in a living storyworld—where patrons of the arts and their families co-create films, music, comedy, and transformation with a handpicked ensemble of screenwriters, songwriters, jokewriters, codewriters, copywriters—and, of course, underwriters.
This is culture capitalism at its most intimate, absurd, and unforgettable.
