The HIStory booklet remains the one that required the most work on my part to analyze the album credits. In this thirst for knowledge, Jen Leigh’s name caught my attention in the list of musicians. I discovered that she was the only female guitarist in Michael Jackson’s discography. I had been wishing to interview […]
The name of John Bettis can’t be unknown to you if you are interested in Michael Jackson’s discography. Indeed, co-credited with Steve Porcaro on the song “Human Nature” as its lyricist, he knew how to leave his print on this legendary track. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to interview him, but sometimes […]
TJ Jackson is back in the news with his new album entitled “Acoustic Sessions 1” and his first solo tour in Europe next June and July. This is the perfect time to ask him about both events, and also discuss the story of the 3T band and his memories of the 90s with Michael Jackson […]

My desire to investigate this period is still present, and so I […]
As an author connected to the world of Michael Jackson, Adrian Grant’s name is bound to be a role model. Through his magazines, books and events, he has contributed enormously to the King of Pop’s fans around the world, to the point that his work was praised and recognized by Michael Jackson himself. So I […]
The Tambu album was Toto’s first studio album after the death of their drummer Jeff Porcaro. So I wanted to talk about this important turning point in the band’s discography in the mid-90s. Elliot Scheiner, producer and sound engineer of this record, was the ideal witness to evoke this subject, not without exchanging on his […]
In 1987, I discovered Michael Jackson with the Bad album. It is easy therefore to figure out the personal bond that I have with this record. More generally speaking, it marked the last collaboration between MJ and Quincy Jones (following both the Off The Wall and the Thriller albums) which makes the topic all the […]
