MICHAEL JACKSON
WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT, MY FIRST PRODUCER USED TO MAKE ME LISTEN TO MICHAEL JACKSON’S LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “WHO’S LOVING YOU.” HE WOULD HAVE ME WATCH THAT FOR HOURS BACK TO BACK TO BACK.
WHAT HE WANTED ME TO LEARN WAS HIS SOUL. YOU COULD HEAR HIS SOUL. AND HE WAS THIS LITTLE KID WHO HADN’T EXPERIENCED LOVE BUT HE WAS A VESSEL. FOR WHATEVER REASON HE COULD EVOKE MORE EMOTION THAN AN ADULT. IT WAS SO RAW AND SO PURE. IT WAS THESE LITTLE THINGS THAT HE DID THAT WERE JUST SWAG. IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S GOD GIVEN.
MICHAEL TAUGHT ME THAT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FORGET TECHNIQUE, FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE ON. IF YOU FEEL SILLY, YOU HAVE TO GO FROM THE GUT JUST LET IT GO.
MICHAEL JACKSON CHANGED ME, AND HELPED ME TO BECOME THE ARTIST I AM - THANK YOU MICHAEL.
LOVE ALWAYS,

Quando ero agli esordi, il mio primo produttore mi faceva ascoltare la performance live di Michael Jackson di Who'S Loving You. Me la faceva guardare per ore e ore.
Quello che voleva farmi imparare era la sua anima. E si riusciva a sentire la sua anima. Ed era questo ragazzino che non aveva ancora sperimentato l'amore, ma era uno che recepiva. Per chissà quale motivo riusciva a evocare più emozioni di un adulto. Era così puro. Erano queste piccole cose che faceva che erano il suo stile. Era qualcosa dato da Dio.
Michael mi ha insegnato che a volte si deve dimenticare la tecnica. Se ti senti stupido devi seguire il tuo istinto e lasciarti andare.
Michael Jackson mi ha cambiata, e mi ha aiutata a diventare l'artista che sono. Grazie Michael
