Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer who was born in the city of Gary, Indiana. Also known as the King of Pop, he contributed for more than four decades to revolutionizing the world of music, fashion, dance, and advertising through his songs, music videos, and live performances, making him one of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century.

Being the eighth child of the Jackson family, he began his artistic career within the family group "The Jackson 5," who, with the support of the Motown record label, managed to integrate the music of the African American community into popular music. However, it was thanks to Michael Jackson's solo career and the enormous success of his albums Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous that racial barriers would eventually be broken down on stations and networks like MTV, which were popularly directed at a white audience.
People who knew Michael know that he was a talented, perfectionist, proud, and very ambitious person when setting goals in his musical career. He never settled for the success he already had and always sought to innovate in his music, music videos, and the development of such amazing dance moves that he would strongly influence bands and singers of later generations.
But behind the scenes, he was an introverted, sensitive person with an innocence that made him the target of defamation, being questioned for his eccentric tastes, controversial childhood, constant changes in his appearance, and especially the sexual abuse allegations he faced when he was at the peak of his fame. Despite being thoroughly investigated by the FBI for 10 years and no incriminating evidence being found, these allegations overshadowed his enormous philanthropic, altruistic, and humanitarian work, which at that time raised public awareness about various global and humanitarian issues.
