Profile

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on the 29th of August 1958 in Gary, Indiana. He was born to parents Katherine and Joseph and was the 7th of nine children, beginning his music journey within his family itself.
Upon realising the talent his sons had in music, Joseph Jackson encouraged the five brothers to pursue music and hence comes the formation of the 'Jackson 5'. Michael Jackson broke into the business quick and became a household icon for his impeccable talent,gravity-defying dance moves and trend-setting fashions.

Michael Jackson began as a 5-year old R&B vocalist and the rest is history.As we bid goodbye to this musical legend on the 25th June 2009, we hold on to the memory of a man that was truely, the King of Pop.

Michael and the Shot to Stardom

Michael Jackson may be an household name now but his shot to stardom only began during the release of "Off the Wall" that introduced Michael as an adult.

Off the wall was Michael's first album as a solo artist and the album was well-received and became the start of Michael's musical journey.

Michael's shot to stardom however, began with the release of the highly anticipated and highly recognized, "Thriller". Thriller got many positive reviews from many around the world and was considered as a revolutionary moment for music videos. Using many special effects that was new at the time, with incredible costumes and sets, Thriller was considered possibly the best music video of its time. Due to the success of the video, the behind-the-scenes look at the thriller video was also released.
