Music as a source of inspiration
At Alley of Fashion 2026, MosFocus spoke with a Michael Jackson tribute performer about the influence of the legendary artist on his creative journey.
Michael Jackson’s music, videos and MTV played an important role in shaping his passion for performance. At the same time, he makes it clear that he does not claim to be an official representative of Jackson. His goal is simpler: to perform, entertain audiences and make people happy.
“I’m just a person who loves doing my work and making people happy. That is my main mission.”
Favourite Jackson music
The performer also spoke about the music that inspires him. The Dangerous era remains especially important, while Jackson 5 songs such as I Want You Back and Shake Your Body have also become favourites.
A stage look for Alley of Fashion
For the fashion event, he chose a distinctive Hussar-inspired jacket in gold, red and black. His famous white glove, however, stayed in his suitcase this time.
The interview brings together music, performance, fashion and a simple personal philosophy: use creativity to make people happy.
