Location
In The Studio With MJ - Los Angeles
Four studio albums. Countless sessions. Video mixes. Dance mixes. Three world tours. A ranch called "Neverland." This was my life and career for nearly 18 years, working closely with the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. This is your chance to hear the music, the stories behind the music, and what it was like to be a part of Michael's team. This is a one-of-a-kind music, photo and video-filled event.

"In The Studio With MJ" - the full updated event!
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.

Bradx2: Brad Buxer and Brad Sundberg + Friends
When Brad Buxer joins me in the studio it's a foot-to-the-floor musical adventure! Brad will share insights and memories from his decades of working with Michael composing songs, recording, touring and becoming close friends. He might even remind you that his job was not gone - contrary to TikTok. When Brad stops by you never know who else might stop by to say hi. It's a day not to be missed!

Captain EO 40th Anniversary Celebration - A Conversation With Matt Forger (3-hours)
Join me as Matt Forger and I discuss one of my favorite MJ projects - Captain EO! Released September 12, 1986 Captain EO has been shown tens of thousands of times in four Disney parks around the globe during it's run. Matt was the recording engineer who worked with Michael on the music - and this was when I first got to know both of them. Be ready to Change The World!

"Mixing and Stories In The Studio With MJ" (3-hours)
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, it moves very fast, and it's a time to relax or dance and listen to Michael's music like you have never heard it before!
I truly hope you will consider spending some time in the studio with me on any or all of these one-of-a-kind events we have created for anyone who loves music and Michael's legacy!

“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.
