About the artist
Michael Jackson, born in Gary, Indiana, began his career as a child performer alongside his brothers in the Jackson 5 before Motown Records turned the group into stars in the late 1960s. As a solo artist he became known as the King of Pop, redefining what a pop performer could be through his voice, songwriting and famously innovative dance moves like the moonwalk.
His run of albums with producer Quincy Jones — Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad — reshaped popular music, with songs such as «Billie Jean», «Smooth Criminal» and «Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'» blending funk, R&B, rock and pop into a sound that dominated radio and, crucially, MTV, where his music videos set new standards for the format as an art form.
Beyond the charts, Jackson used his platform for humanitarian causes, notably with «Heal the World», and continued to explore social themes on later work like «They Don't Care About Us». His influence extended across genres and generations, shaping the vocabulary of pop, R&B and dance music that countless artists still draw on today, and he remains one of the most awarded and commercially successful recording artists in history.
