Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris has opened up about her father in an interview with The Evening Standard where she discussed her new indie-folk album.
Whilst not leaning towards pop music, Paris said her father’s work will “always” influence her in some way: “I think he’ll always influence everything I do in some way, whether it’s subconscious or intentional. I was around that creativity all the time, so I’m sure I learnt a lot of what I have from that.”
She also spoke about the music the two used to listen to together: “We listened to Kanye West around the house as well,” Paris said. “I was always singing growing up. It was cool seeing the look on my dad’s face when he realised I could match pitch and harmonise.”
Paris also revealed that her godfather, Home Alone’s Macauley Culkin, is encouraging her music career. “His music taste is really cool. He listens to stuff like Devendra Banhart and The Orwells, so when I do stuff closer to that kind of stuff I send it to him. He’s been really, really supportive.”
