New Book About My Jackson's Era In The Works!

After years of just keeping it all to myself, I've begun work on a book chronicling my time with the Jacksons. It's basically a play by play on how I made the leap from homelessness to the world's biggest gig in the space of nine months. I also share my thoughts on life, music and this weird ass, wonderful entity called the "music business." I'll keep you posted of my progress!
