Suddenly thrust into a global spotlight, Michael Jackson’s children grappled with overwhelming attention that starkly contrasted their father’s protective nature. Under the guardianship of their grandmother Katherine, Paris and her brothers found shelter amid the chaos, trying to preserve their childhood amid the relentless media scrutiny. The family compound became a sanctuary, and Paris transformed her father’s studio into a personal refuge, a place to heal and grow.
Now 23, Paris has carved her own path, embracing both music and modeling while honoring her father’s memory. In candid conversations, she reveals the complexities of growing up in the shadow of a legend and the strength it took to find her own voice. Her debut album, Wilted, reflects an intimate journey of loss, resilience, and hope—an ode to a past that still shapes her future.
