He said, you can’t be it until you see it! ⠀ As a young black boy growing up on the south side of Chicago, it was important for me to see someone that looked like me doing what I aspired to do. Image matters so much! ⠀ There’s no possible way I could’ve known I’d grow up to work with one who inspired me. How could I?⠀ I do know that I can help inspire others who look like me, to rise into their own greatness! ⠀ I miss MJ! Just the convos alone were deep. But, I’m also grateful for the time I did have with him while he was here on this plane. He was an inspiration to many. And,still inspiring. ⠀ HBD🎉 dude. You are loved! 🕊 M~ #birthday #michaeljackson #kingofpop #goat #icon #legend #spreadlove So proud of my squad! @ladygaga, @richysquirrel, @arianagrande, @michaelbearden! We put in the work! ⠀ ⠀ And, even if only for a brief moment, we were able to provide just a little bit of an escape from ALL the madness of 2020! We made it rain! ☔️ In a good way. . ☺️ M~ #vmas2020 #mtv Please indulge, as I’d like to share a quick story I was told from my friend, and legend @NileRodgers, as we were catching up recently. ⠀ ⠀ Nile was working with the #MakeAWishFoundation and a young girl with a terminal illness wanted to meet Michael. She had written a letter. Nile, who knew MJ for a long time, contacted Michael and told him about the letter. He also asked if they could come to the show when he was in NYC. It was the ‘Off the Wall’ tour. MJ’s first solo tour.⠀ ⠀ Not only did Michael oblige with the tickets, he spotted Nile and the young girl in the audience, made his way off stage while performing, and went over to them to invite them backstage after the show. As you might imagine, everyone wanted to know who the little girl was.⠀ ⠀ The little girl was able to meet MJ and many of the other celebrities that attended the show. Needless to say, she had the time of her life.⠀ ⠀ MJ called Nile many months later to work on something in the studio with him when he got back to NYC. MJ asked Nile about the little girl. Michael didn’t know she passed away maybe less than a month after the concert.⠀ ⠀ With everything that goes on in a typical day for MJ, the fact that he even remembered the encounter at all, after so much time had passed is amazing. Yes. ⠀ ⠀ But, the even more extraordinary thing is that the little girl was actually thankful for her terminal illness! She said that if she had not been stricken with the disease that would eventually end her life, a regular, ordinary person like her (paraphrasing her words) would never have even had the chance to meet MJ in person. ⠀ ⠀ Think about THAT! How many of us would ever think to flip it like that?! That story blew me away when Nile told it to me.⠀ ⠀ The last thing MJ said to me was, “God bless you. Love you. See you tomorrow.” (We said that almost every night) And, I never saw him again. I just assumed I would.⠀ ⠀ Never take ANY of this for granted! Every day is a complete blessing! No matter the circumstances on the outside. I am embracing even more gratitude today and every day moving forward. I’d like to be as profound and inspiring as that little girl when grow up!⠀ ⠀ MJ! You are ❤️’d🙏🏾 M~ HBD Nip! 🎉 My photos (I haven’t seen this one in almost 30 years!) always have stories! ⠀ ⠀ However, I’d need Chapters for Whitney! So, I’ll keep it really simple for now!⠀ ⠀ If it weren’t for Whitney Houston, I most likely would not be here! Period! (All will be explained)⠀ ⠀ I miss my big sis Nip a lot! More than I ever knew I would! She meant SO much to my life! 🙏🏾🎤❤️🖤🕊M~ (what am I looking at? don’t laugh at the clothes. ☺️ I was a baby in the biz then!) Even in these extraordinary times we’re ALL experiencing at the moment, I want to wish a very HBD🎉🎉 to this one right here! @ladygaga – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There are some people you just work with. Then, there are others, you create magic with! Out of the many artists I’ve collaborated with during my long career so far, Gaga is in the uppermost heights of my favorites list. (We’ve discussed where she is. I’ll keep that private!☺️) As you all know, the world has since changed. Needless to say, now is the time for everyone to stay safe and healthy. And, hopefully look out for each other. We’ll eventually get through this. Together! I’m wishing mama a happy born day. 🎉🎉 And, looking forward to the time she, @richysquirrel and I can get back to creating for all of you! Enjoy! And, many more!! M~ Even in these extraordinary times we’re ALL experiencing at the moment, I want to wish a very HBD🎉🎉 to this one right here! @ladygaga – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

And, many more!! M~ HBD🎉🎉 to the peeps (whatever number it is because he doesn’t age anyway! 😆) @lennykravitz. Like Patti in my post yesterday, I’ve known Lenny many years. Probably longer than Ms. Pat even. He’s always been a solid, consistent, good dude! A gem in this business indeed! Enjoy my friend. 🎉And many more. . Let Love Rule!❤️M~ (on a personal note, I have no idea why there are so many damn Gemini’s in my life! Lol 😂 seriously! Like my whole family and most of my friends) Before the internet, social media, videos and all that stuff, young black boys like me who grew up on Chicago’s south side, would often look up to those who looked like us, or came from a similar place! Artists like the Jackson Five, and a few other acts resonated with me because they felt familiar to my life experience! Bill Withers was definitely another one of those artists! He was an “every man”. Easily could’ve been one of my uncles or in my extended family somehow. He began his career at what was considered a late age for this business. Yet, his talent and art has and continue to stand the test of time. These few weeks have been heartbreaking to say the least. 💔We’re losing way too many lights out here in this darkness. But, I will try not to wallow in the effects of darkness. It’s NO match for light! Instead, I’ll celebrate the time we did have with Bill while he was here. And, I’ll reflect on all the times I’ve shared personal conversation with him. And the times we’ve created together. Nothing can ever take that away from me or us! Rest in power sir! And, may your legacy live in perpetuity! 🙏🏾 M~ As a conductor, one of the first things you must learn is how to analyze a score. It’s the only way to interpret the composers intentions. However, one can never really know “exact” intentions, just from written notes on a page. There are no YouTube clips of Beethoven conducting the most famous 8 notes of his 5th symphony. (Although how sick would that be?☺️) Fortunately for pop music, we have the recordings. But, even then, some of the details get lost. If you’re lucky enough to have access to the isolated tracks, the artists, producers, or musicians who recorded the tracks, you can know exactly what was done. I’m blessed in my career to have this kind of access often. When it comes to Michael Jackson keyboard parts, there is no debate on who is the foremost authority. Greg Phillanganes! He’s played on just about every significant MJ record ever made. And, he’s invented some of the greatest keyboard parts in the history of recorded music! Period! Even outside of MJ. So this clip today, was taught directly to me from the mastermind who came up with it. I’m only focusing on the right hand lines. I’m not showing the left hand. Also, this is at the end of the song. The 1st two phrases are repeated in the intro and body of the song. Once you learn this correctly, you have the whole song. I get so many people showing me clips of them playing MJ songs. This is the one that’s most consistently incorrect. Happy playing! M~ *THIS for the musicians that asked me to do this! Here you go. Thank you for tolerating the long caption. ☺️🙌🏾 As we continue what has been a long and arduous fight for justice and equality, I’ve heard some in this modern movement pronounce,”we are not our parents, grandparents, ancestors, etc…!” ⠀ ⠀ I understand the sentiment. Everyone is “fed up” with ALL of the never ending injustices we suffer at the hands of racism, and all other offspring of fear! ⠀ ⠀ It is my fervent hope that the newer generation will be able to solve this centuries old crisis of division and inhumanity! ⠀ ⠀ However, before ANY movement can progress, it is imperative to understand and acknowledge that, we are able to stand up today, because people like John Lewis gave us shoulders on which to stand yesterday! ⠀ ⠀ R.I.P. to a true AMERICAN hero. Congressman Lewis represented everything good and decent in humanity. We MUST continue the legacy!

HBD 80! 🎉 🎉 🎉 to one of the coolest and nicest Icons in this crazy business! Ringo Starr! Always peace and love when I see him. If you ever would’ve told me, a kid from the south side of Chicago, that I’d get a chance to meet ANY of the Beatles, I would’ve called you crazy. Lol 😂 I’ve been able to meet, and be on stage with both surviving band members. ☺️ blessed life! 🙌🏾 M~ Wow! HBD 80! 🎉 🎉 🎉 to one of the coolest and nicest Icons in this crazy business! Ringo Starr!

I’ve had the honor of working with him on many occasions. And, every time was a great experience. Music is just music to me. As long as it’s played with heart and soul, it doesn’t matter what genre it is. IMO. . Enjoy your B Day🎉🎉@willienelsonofficial And many more! S/O to @lukasnelsonofficial too. Hope you’re well in all this madness out here my friend! Love to you both! 🙌🏾 M~ (i really like this photos of the legend and I ☺️ was a good musical time that evening!) I literally can’t wait to get #ontheroadagain !! One of the most beautiful things about my career so far is the ‘variety’ of artists I’ve had the pleasure of creating with. My mindset has always been, music is music! I don’t care about categories! I got to know Chris Cornell just a little bit. Even after this show, (The Kennedy Center Honors which I worked on for over a decade!) Chris reached out to me to do some more collaborating. Unfortunately, we were never able to get to it! He’s been gone a few years now. On this date on this month. His talent was immense! His energy was beautiful. A very kind soul! 🙌🏾 You never know someone’s personal pain. Check in with your loved ones! R.I.P. Chris!🙏🏾 M~ (I realize some of you may not know who Chris was. And, that’s okay. Moving forward in my posts, I’ve made it an exact intention to show as many sides of my career as possible. Just to show any young person who may be following that, your passion for music doesn’t have to be focused just on ONE thing! You can explore all the sides of music and thrive. Don’t let anyone put you in a box 📦) I have many more sides to my music life than MJ and Gaga. As amazing as those sides are! 🙌🏾 One of the most beautiful things about my career so far is the ‘variety’ of artists I’ve had the pleasure of creating with.

The legendary Mavis Staples! The Staples singers were a big influence on me as a boy. As we’re all the Chicago based artists. So honored to be able to call Mavis a friend. She is truly one of a kind! (If you want to see an amazing tribute to Mavis, go check out the 75th birthday celebration we did in Chicago. It’s out on video somewhere. Many celebrities paid tribute and Mavis sang as well. We had a Ball!!) Honor ALL of our treasures while they’re here! Love you Mavis. ❤️🖤 Enjoy, and many more. . M~ (and if you don’t know who she is, please find out!) *James Taylor is photo bombing us! ☺️ HBD🎉🎉 to Barack! As with all my photos, there’s a longer story behind them. (Yes I’m writing the book. Yes, this story will be in it.☺️)⠀ ⠀ The short version is, secret service came to me and said, “the President and First Lady would like to speak to you!” ⠀ ⠀ So they take me back to the private area. I had to wait for B to finish his speech. When they came back to the area, Meesh ran over to me and hugged me! The cool thing about it was, I could see B over her shoulder just waiting patiently and smiling. So comfortable in his skin!⠀ ⠀ He and I embraced and we all just started chatting about everything! After what seemed like a long time, secret service came over in a hurried manner and told the President, “Sir! We have to take Mr. Bearden to the stage now! ⠀ ⠀ Barack looked at them and said, “the show can’t start without the music director! He’s right here!” As if to say in a nice way, don’t rush me! Lol 😆 it was so gangsta! ⠀ ⠀ We took some official photos and then I went to stage. (There’s much more)⠀ ⠀ I couldn’t have been more proud of these two!! I know how hard they worked to ascend. ⠀ ⠀ Happy Birthday🎉🎉 @barackobama and many more. (Look at those smiles ☺️) I’ve known Patti, (I won’t say how many years. But, it’s a LOT ☺️) As usual, I have many stories. One real quick. I was co-producing one of her records. The late great Jehryl Bushy was the executive in charge. We had a serious deadline to complete our work. So we had two studios going at Westlake. We needed Ms. Pat to finish some things we needed. So she flew from Philly, (made a stop to get some of her favorite food. I’ll tell more in the book.) And came to the studio. It was already very late. We told her to just go get some rest and come in early in the morning. We said, ‘You just got off a long flight Ms. Pat!’ She insisted on staying. She stayed there until it was light outside! She sang her butt off too! Didn’t complain about anything we needed her to do. It was one of the most amazing displays of greatness I’d seen in my long career! (I’m skipping over a lot but, I’ll fill that in due time) If you truly “love” something, you can accomplish anything you want to do. But, you have to love it sincerely! Patti obviously loves what she does. How else could one be as awesome as she’s been over all these years?! And, still going! HBD🎉🎉 @mspattilabelle And, many more. Love you! ❤️M~ These are extraordinary times! So much uncertainty, anxiety, worry, speculation, and other connections to fear! Understandably. We’re human. People I know personally have either contracted this virus, or have now passed on from having it. It sucks! 💔 I don’t know the answers. I do know that I don’t want to contribute to the anxiety. I’ve never been a fatalist. In THIS moment. In the NOW. I just choose to embrace things that uplift and may offer some hope! My world expression is music! My mouthpiece is piano. This is a short throwback clip of one of me playing one of my favorite songs by John Lennon. Still so relevant today. Hopefully, some of you can find just a little bit of solace in these frequencies, notes and chords. Be well. Be safe. Be healthy. Be love!
