😎Michael Jackson had a HUGE influence over me artistically speaking when I was growing up and even now as an executive in the entertainment/arts industry. Michael Jackson's music, his sheer will to thrive in the cut throat entertainment industry, and his massive impact across ages, race, genders, oceans, hills and valleys is UNDENIABLE. That man was anointed.
So many artist try to be like him, dance like him, sing like him, wearing themselves out trying to outshine him. Not going to happen. Not in this life time.
Michael Jackson didn't just raise the bar, he broke the bar, and it's never going to be duplicated. I admire that about him. That's the mark of a true legend.
Was he perfect?
No.
Neither are you.
Neither am I.
But guess what, Michael Jackson was a true testament of turning pain in to purpose. That's a fact and that is why his music WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!
If you didn't see the Michael Jackson biopic yet, you're missing out. It's more than a film. It's an experience.
I am inspired to do even more with my show Just Be You After Dark, watch and be amazed.
Rest in peace MJ. 🌹
Truly, Mahogany Reynolds, founder/executive director, Just Be You Performing Arts 🤩
