He was Michael Jackson’s final musical director, building the This Is It show, and spent MJ’s last night together, rehearsing with him. He’s been with Lady Gaga for over a decade (including her iconic Super Bowl half time show performance). He was with Whitney Houston at her highest moment. He’s lifelong friends with Michelle Obama.
