About the speaker

Brad Sundberg joined Michael’s Jackson team during the production of Captain EO in 1985, and remained with Michael as one of his engineers and Technical Director for nearly 18 years.
He was actively involved in the studio production of four of Michael’s studio albums: BAD, Dangerous, HIStory, and Blood On The Dance Floor. He also worked on remixes and edits for countless singles, short films, and tour preparations associated with these projects.
Beyond the studio, as Michael’s incredible Neverland Valley Ranch grew from dream to reality, he brought Brad in to design and install music and video systems in virtually every corner of the property. In addition to Michael’s personal listening and dance studio systems, Brad created incredible outdoor sound effect systems throughout the grounds with the exact same attention to detail. Michael chose the music, but he trusted Brad’s technical expertise to make it sound great.
Brad is a proud voting member of the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences, also known as the GRAMMY Awards. He has worked with several other artists and was Technical Director for Quincy Jones’ album, Back on the Block; Stevie Nicks’ album, Rock a Little; and Barbra Streisand’s album, Til I Loved You. Other clients included The Simpsons, Vanessa Williams, McDonald’s, and Taco Bell.

Whether you’re an aspiring music professional, artist, or just curious about how it was like to work with Michael Jackson, this session offers practical insights into one of the most prolific artist in the modern music history.
We look forward to seeing you there!
