“Music is a big part of my life. It shaped who I am because of my family, but I’ve always wanted to go into production. My dad would ask me what I wanted to do and my answer was always producing and directing,” said Prince.

Despite his father’s efforts to shield him from the public eye, Prince received full support from the Jackson family in his chosen career path. His cousin, Taj Jackson, described him as “extremely smart” and noted that Prince is a grounded young man, a trait instilled in him by his father.

Unlike him, Prince’s little sister Paris, has decided to follow in their dad’s footsteps by pursuing a music career. However, before finding the courage to do that, she had to work on herself.
Michael’s death deeply affected his daughter, leaving her emotionally scarred. She attempted to take her own life multiple times, ultimately entering treatment at the age of 15. In a March 2017 interview, Paris openly disclosed that she “was always the weird kid.”
