How did this project come about?
The role of Tito Jackson came into my life when I was asked to submit an audition for Michael. I sent in a self-tape of a scene and a dance video for my initial audition. Almost a year later, my final callback was on a soundstage, where Antoine Fuqua, Graham King, Prince Jackson, Rich, Tone, and many others were present. Rich and Tone guided me through some choreography with the guitar, and before I knew it, the filmmakers told me I had booked the role of Tito. Shortly after, I began rehearsals.
Were you a fan of Michael Jackson’s music prior to this project? If yes, what do you like about his music? If no, have you become a fan?
I was a huge Michael Jackson fan long before this film. He was one of the first artists I ever learned about, and I still remember the first music video I saw of his, Thriller, back in elementary school. I grew up listening to Michael and The Jacksons, and I was drawn to the groove, the energy, and the way the music made you feel something instantly. It’s timeless and will continue to inspire people.
