In The Studio With MJ - Edinburgh 2026

In The Studio With MJ - Edinburgh

You know Michael Jackson, but do you really know what it was like to work with him?

He was my boss.

He was my client.

He was like no one I have met.

His name is Michael Jackson, and I'd like to introduce you to him.

I first met Michael in 1984, during a project called "Captain EO". Little did I know back then that over the next 18 years I would spend countless hours with him working on four studio albums. Countless sessions. Video mixes. Dance mixes. Three world tours. A ranch called "Neverland." 

My name is Brad Sundberg and this was my life and career for nearly 18 years, working closely with the King of Pop himself. 

At "In The Studio With MJ" you will see and hear what it was like to be in the studio with Michael, the engineers, and producers who created the songs, through a carefully crafted timeline of music, video and behind-the-scenes info. Truly a very unique experience for Michael’s fans, as well as those who love music and want to peek “behind the curtain”.

Schedule:

Saturday May 16th: In The Studio With MJ

12:00pm - 7:00pm

I was Michael's technical director and part of the engineering team on four studio albums, including "Bad", "Dangerous", "HIStory", and "Blood On The Dance Floor." (Michael even gave me the nickname "Really, Really Brad".) These mammoth projects (including production, tour-prep and countless remixes) took upwards of 16 months each. You will see and hear what it was like to be in the studio with Michael and the team of engineers and producers who created these songs, through a carefully crafted timeline of music, video and behind-the-scenes info. From "Captain Eo" to "Man In The Mirror" to "Smile", I was there, and you will hear about my time working with Michael.

Sunday May 17th: Mixing and Stories In The Studio With MJ

12:00pm - 6:30pm

One of my favorite and fully unscripted events, Mixing and Stories is an interactive and fun exploration into Michael's amazing discography. Guests will get a chance to mix custom-created stems from the original studio multitracks, plus I help break down the songs and share many stories and insights about Michael's music and the techniques we used on several of Michael's tracks. It's fun, requires zero experience, and it's a time to relax or dance and listen to Michael's music like you have never heard it before!

“Brad’s seminars offer a fascinating, eye (and ear)-opening experience, in which genuine insights about Michael Jackson as an artist, a person and a friend, are revealed. I thoroughly enjoyed the warm, conversational approach and the deep well of materials. There were several goosebump moments. Brad puts you right there, inside the studio in those eras, and shows how the magic was made. I couldn’t recommend it more to both fans of Jackson and anyone who cares about music.”Brad’s seminars offer a fascinating, eye (and ear)-opening experience, in which genuine insights about Michael Jackson as an artist, a person and a friend, are revealed.
