Published: Thursday, 26 March 2015 09:59
With classic hits like ‘I’ll Be There’, ‘Rock With You’ and ‘ABC’, the Jacksons need no introduction. They have five number one albums, 18 number one hits and 17 Top 10 albums, and they show no signs of slowing down! Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon have over 50 years of music history and for the first time ever, they are bringing their gift of music to Malaysian fans for the annual Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix Gala. Ahead of their The Jacksons’ much-anticipated performance we were able to squeeze in a short and quick interview with Jermaine to talk about his upcoming projects, the family legacy and more!
What can audiences expect from your performance at the Petronas Grand Prix Gala?
The audience can expect a high-energy performance with lots of dance and excitement, 50 years of hits and a special tribute to my brother Michael.
You’re also an occasional film director. The last miniseries you produced, The Jacksons: An American Dream, won awards. Have you got anything else in store for us?
Yes there is always new projects coming from the Jackson family. We are always working on something and we plan to keep the legacy alive with new music and songs with integrity and melodic structure.
You’re known for being a talented bass player, would you say that the bass is the hardest musical instrument to learn?
No, I feel that the piano is harder to learn.
How do you feel your family has influenced you musically?
[Laughs] I am the family influencer, I am an original lead singer in the J5 group.
Your last album was released in 2012, which consisted mostly of jazz covers. Can we expect another album from you anytime soon?
Yes, I am in the studio as we speak. I am currently working on a song with Aaron Kwak called ‘I Panda’.
Lastly, do you have any pre-performance ritual?
I don’t eat anything the day I perform and just stay focused. And Excited to get on stage.
