Pop star Michael Jackson was a very interesting guy and had a very interesting life. He was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, to Katherine Jackson and Joseph Jackson. Michael had 9 other siblings and all of them made some type of mark on the music industry, but especially Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was best known as the King of Pop and was a best-selling American singer, songwriter and dancer. Michael Jackson was a very unique person and had extremely unique characteristics that defined him as a person.
Michael Jackson was a very successful and determined person in his life. His music career started when he was only 5 years old, because of his father's encouragement. He played with his siblings in the band called ‘The Jackson 5’ and became the lead vocalist in that group. Michael was definitely blessed and talented with his singing and performing gift. At the age of 5 years old he could perform and sing in front of crowds, and impress them with his ability. They first played at local places and eventually gained a really big following of people. People were really impressed by how young they were and how magnificent they could perform. They tried to record their first single called ‘Big Boy’, with the B-side ‘You’ve Changed’, but it did not gain a big following and failed. But that did not set them back at all, they still kept practicing and performing. Eventually Berry Gordy signed them to his label in 1969 and they moved in with Berry and Diana Ross. Michael and the Jackson 5 made their first album called ‘Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5’ and it hit the charts (‘Michael Jackson Biography’). This was a really big step for Michael and the Jackson 5. It really gained them a lot of popularity and a big following. They continued to play and make albums that were really successful. When Michael was only 11 years old, he was on TV and he also released his first solo album when he was 14 years old. They were having a little trouble in the Jackson 5 band and Michael was determined to branch out and became a solo performer. The Jackson 5 was very successful and very popular. Michael was extremely successful in his solo career of making music and performing, with his big breakthrough being in 1979 with the album ‘Off the Wall’. Another one of Michael's popular albums was ‘Thriller’ in 1987. He made many more popular albums and everyone loved his songs.

He was probably the most popular sensation at that time and still is extremely popular even after his death. He was definitely determined and knew exactly what he wanted to do in his life.
Michael Jackson was a very mysterious and strange person. Whenever Michael Jackson was about 32 years old, he started to develop a reputation as an eccentric recluse. An eccentric recluse is basically a weird person living alone and separated from everyone. He moved into a huge 2,700-acre ranch called Neverland, which was out in the middle of nowhere. He lived their pretty much for the rest of his life until he died when he was 50 years old. Michael Jackson underwent many surgeries on his face and also changed his skin color to white with chemical treatment.

This is what Brad Sundberg said about Michael, “Michael was remarkably talented, driven, patient, kind, a perfectionist, trusting – and very funny. He was painfully shy but loved to perform in front of enormous crowds. He would work for days on end without a break then disappear without warning to Tokyo or London for a few days. He wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t normal – but that’s what made him Michael” (‘True Michael Jackson’).
