In 2004, at only 11 years old, Mishon (MY-shawn) performed a tribute for “the greatest entertainer that ever lived”, Michael Jackson.
Watch Mishon get down to “Rock With You” and “Billie Jean” in homage to the King of Pop:
Mishon continues to express Michael Jackson’s influence in his music and style. Check out the “Just a Kiss” video for proof! It shows off the 16 year old Los Angeles native’s soaring vocal dexterity and considerable teen charm.
The multi-talented teen is already a TV star thanks to his role as spunky kid brother Tay on the ABC Family Channel drama “Lincoln Heights”, which began shooting its fourth season this spring.
It wasn’t until he handpicked the song “Lean On Me” to perform—unexpectedly—at the funeral of his great grandfather at age 9 that folks around him really took notice of the emotion he was able to wring from the song. “They asked if anybody had anything to say, and I stepped up to the microphone and started singing,” Mishon explains. “And that’s really what broke me out of my shell because I used to be a very shy child.”
Mishon’s The Yearbook will be out this fall.
