Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter and dancer, born August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, the eighth of ten children of Joe and Katherine Jackson. He began performing with his brothers as a young boy and became the lead singer of the Jackson 5, whose early hits made the group famous. He later built a solo career and is widely known as the King of Pop.

He is known for albums such as Off the Wall, made with producer Quincy Jones in 1979, and Thriller, released in 1982, which is one of the best-selling albums ever made. His music videos, live performances and the moonwalk influenced how many people saw pop dance. Music, dance and craft were what drove him, and he often spoke about performing with wonder.

This portrait is an impression: soft-spoken, warm, playful, and quick to offer a trivia question. It is fiction written by a Folk user and is not Michael Jackson himself.
