Working in the industry since before the dawn of MTV, he has edited clips and cut music videos for an incredibly wide range of music legends, including Janet Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, James Brown, and many, many more. He has also been deeply involved in the production of large-scale network television specials and concerts.His long-running relationship with Michael Jackson began in the early 1990s, when he made spots for the “Dangerous” album—work which was used later as the opening to Jackson’s European Tour, his “Live In Bucharest” concert film, and was included in two compilations of music videos under the title “Brace Yourself.” Jenkis also edited “Live from Bucharest”, an epic task he completed in only 10 days before it aired on HBO. He continued to work on a number of projects for the King of Pop over the years including never-before-seen versions of Ghosts and the HIStory teaser, and concluded his time working with Michael by consulting on promo spots for “This Is It” just months before Jackson’s passing in 2009.In this deep-dive chat, Jamon and Paul get the inside scoop on all of these incredible moments in Michael Jackson history, as well as rare insights into the technical elements of these massive projects.

A heaven of accurate, earth-Grounded and unbiased Information about Michael Jackson

With a podcast like The MJCast, a crucial roadway toward Michael Jackson’s truth is offered to all.
Since 2015, Jamon Bull, Q, and now Elise, have hosted more than a hundred episodes on Michael Jackson. On his music, his humanitarian projects, his life, the witch hunts he has endured, his family, his work colleagues, and the current media actuality surrounding his name. Positive news and latest slanders. In terms of musicality, I like how The MJCast presents in its episodes remixes of Michael tunes, but also new renditions of his songs. Some of them orchestral, others choir performances. Musical proofs of Michael Jackson moving the hearts of many; ready to honour his name with their work. Thanks to The MJCast podcast, it has allowed me to know, in six months, crucial infos about the singer, his work, and his life. Stuff which the medias never reported. Such as his humanity as a family member and as an artist. As a kind soul who always treated people with respect. So thank you TheMJCast for doing your episodes. Through them, you help everyone worldwide know more about Michael Jackson. Making them realize that the more you learn about Michael Jackson from the people who knew him, the more you realize how much the man has more kindness and humanity than so many Hollywood figures. Many of whom have had shady reputations for years and which current medias do not take time to expose.
