Michael Jackson’s Longtime Engineer Matt Forger Is Taking His Lifetime Of Experiences On The Road To Motivate Struggling Students.
The studio ‘fixer’ who worked closely with the King of Pop for over 15 years and became one of the late superstar’s closest confidantes, is stepping out as a public speaker.
He tells WENN, “I plan to take these things that I’ve observed and lived, these lessons, and I know that there’s a demographic of students that don’t know what’s going on; they don’t know what’s going on in their lives, they don’t know what’s going on in the world… ‘How do I assemble a path for me…?’ and I realise I’ve had the most unique experience for anyone like me that I can imagine, and this is now what I write about and what I speak about.
“It slowly crept in; I started hearing people speak… and it was like, ‘I could do this’, and then I started making some friends in the industry and started taking it more seriously.”
