Paris Jackson has been in the spotlight since birth as the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson. At just 24 years old, she’s faced her share of challenges, including the loss of her father in 2009, but has emerged as a musician carving her own path in the industry.

Reflecting on her upbringing, Paris has opened up about life with her father, famously known as the “King of Pop.”

Michael Jackson earned his title through unparalleled talent in music, dance, and songwriting. Yet, behind the fame lay a life marked by challenges, including strict discipline during his childhood as part of the Jackson Five.

His rise to global stardom came at a cost, as he dealt with relentless media scrutiny throughout his life. Even in death, Michael remained a subject of public fascination, with helicopters trailing the vehicle carrying his body in 2009.

For Paris, growing up under her father’s protection was both enriching and unique. Despite living on the luxurious Neverland Ranch, she was taught the value of hard work.

Michael ensured his children were well-rounded, exposing them to both privilege and poverty during their travels. “We saw third world countries. We saw every part of the spectrum,” Paris once said.

Since his passing, Paris has focused on creating her own identity, embracing her upbringing while working hard to step out of her father’s shadow.

Her journey has been shaped by resilience and a deep appreciation for the lessons instilled by the man the world still reveres as the “King of Pop.”
