��Experience Michael Jackson in the recording studio, at the very heart of his creative process. You’ll hear music and behind-the-scenes stories. You’ll see video and photographs. You’ll learn how Michael interacted with his team and how they combined focus and discipline with creativity, fun, and food.
��Learn how Michael wrote songs, and how they progressed from the original demo to the album version. Brad will explain and demonstrate how the songs changed and progressed along the way, as they were edited, remixed and restructured for various dance mixes, short films and live tours.
��Discover Michael’s vision and exacting standards for the sound and video systems at Neverland Valley Ranch – including his dance studio and personal listening systems – to give his family and guests an incredible experience.
��All of this takes place inside an actual recording studio, for a full multi-sensory experience that will leave you feeling as if you were really there. Each seminar is limited to an intimate group of people, so you can ask questions and share conversation with Brad and other guests.
��The 2018 presentation of "In The Studio With MJ" is better than it ever has been! I am very proud of the new material, video segments, music, etc. It takes a lot of effort to create an event like this, and I am very proud of my "behind-the-scenes" team.
��The studio will be spectacular.
��The music was created by the greatest entertainer of our time.
��The stories are true and delivered in the best way I know how.
��It will be fun.
��It will be memorable.
��It will be the place to be on April 21st.

��See Things You Have Never Seen
Brad had the unique opportunity to work closely with Michael in the studio on projects like Captain EO, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory. Additionally Michael utilized Brad’s skills to build unique music and video systems for his productions, personal use and of course his amazing home – Neverland Valley Ranch. Be prepared to see things on screen and in your mind that you have never seen.
��Hear Things You Have Never Heard
The process of recording music with Michael was very complex, yet also remarkably simple and pure. Brad will take break songs down in a fun, easy-to-understand way that will take you “behind the scenes” of a recording session and explain multi-track techniques, vocal stacking, songwriting, etc. You will learn that while the team had the most advanced techniques at their fingertips, having Michael behind the microphone required very little in terms of electronic wizardry. As Bruce would say, “Less is more.” Your ears will never hear Michael’s music quite the same way again.
��Learn Things You Never Knew
Michael was remarkably talented, driven, patient, kind, a perfectionist, trusting – and very funny. In a word – he was complicated. He was a terrible driver who loved to drive. He was painfully shy but loved to perform in front of enormous crowds. He tried to eat healthy but loved fries, popcorn and ice cream. He was often the first one in the studio and sometimes the last to leave. He would work for days on end without a break then disappear without warning to Tokyo or London for a few days. He wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t normal – but that’s what made him Michael.
See you soon!
Best,
Brad Sundberg
