MICHAEL KNIGHT as Michael Jackson
While most tribute artists learn to imitate their idols by watching videos over and over again, Michael Knight took a different approach.
In 2013, Knight sought out Michael Jackson’s backup dancer and choreographer for Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson IMMORTAL, Travis Payne and contracted him to help understand and recreate MJ’s dance moves.
Additionally, in 2014, Knight received vocal training from Jackson’s long-time vocal coach, Seth Riggs. This training led Knight into becoming one of the top three Michael Jackson Tribute Artists’ in the world today.
In addition to performing with Legends in Concert since 2013, Knight has performed hundreds of shows in performing arts centers, casinos, fairs, festivals and private events worldwide!
Knight performed to an audience of 60,000 people in 2018 at the Legendary Rose Bowl.
Michael Knights looks forward to meeting and performing for Michael Jackson fans all over the world.
