About Brice
Born in Annecy in 1979, Brice Najar is the author of five books related to the musical world of Michael Jackson.
Itinéraire d’un passionné and The Jacksons: Musicographie 1976-1989 were published in 2013 and 2014. While each book stands on its own, they complement each other perfectly. For his next project, Brice stayed within the same musical theme but explored a different concept. Let’s Make HIStory, released in 2016, is a collection of interviews with key figures involved in the making of the 1995 double album HIStory. In 2020, he expanded on the subject with a new book titled Book On The Dance Floor.
Four years later, he deepened his research for a project called From Thriller To Bad, which retraces Michael Jackson’s journey throughout the 1980s—a way to analyze the King of Pop’s studio work across multiple eras.
In parallel, Brice Najar co-founded the On The Line association, of which he is president, with the goal of organizing events such as MJ MusicDay.
