After his death, his children ended up in the legal care of his mother, the kids’ grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Paris lived with her until her 19th birthday, after which she moved to her father’s private studio at the family compound, which she transformed into a dorm-style bedroom.

Paris, who turned 23 on April 3, opened up about Michael Jackson in a YouTube interview with supermodel Naomi Campbell which aired recently. Among the rest, she spoke of her modeling career, her new album, and her upbringing.

The young model and musician released her first album Wilted, which is an indie-folk album. “It’s mainly just a story of heartbreak and love, in general, and the thoughts and feelings that come after it doesn’t work out,” Paris told Paper, and added how she is inspired by her late father’s music. She definitely inherited his talent.

“My dad was really good about making sure we were cultured, making sure we were educated, and not just showing us like the glitz and glam, like hotel hopping, five-star places,” Paris said.
