Michael Joseph Jackson or as known as “The King of POP” was born in 29 August 1958 in Indiana, United States. He was the 7th child of the Jackson family. As early as age 11, Michael Jackson started his professional music career as a member of The Jackson 5, and began a solo career in 1971.

In the early 1980s, he was the dominant figure in POP music and was credited for transforming the music video into an art form and promotional tool. This helped the MTV Music channel quickly become poplular. With his stage work and music videos, he also popularized a number of complicated dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk.

A quick look at his lifetime achievements includes: 2 time inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles, and multiple Guinness World Records – including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”. His success has made him part of POP culture for almost four decades!
