June 17, 2026No hesitation, this is the MJ you need!
We hired MK for our party and it was such a fun experience that elevated our event. MK was kind and really maintained that aura & persona Michael had. The booking process was very smooth with MK and grateful to have made arrangements in a quick fashion. Now I'm looking for any excuse to bring MK back to our events.

June 3, 2026An Unforgettable Experience
If you’re looking to elevate your event and give your guests something they’ll be talking about long after it’s over, book Michael Kiss. We first hired Michael 12 years ago and recently had the pleasure of working with him again. Not only did he meet our expectations, but he exceeded them in every way.
From the very beginning, Michael was a dream to work with. He was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our event special. He took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. When we couldn’t decide between songs, he graciously added an extra one, demonstrating his flexibility and commitment to making the experience memorable.
What truly sets Michael apart is his dedication. Before the event, he personally reached out to the venue to coordinate logistics and make sure everything would run seamlessly. Thanks to his preparation, the entire evening flowed effortlessly.
His performance was absolutely phenomenal. He arrived on time, looked incredible, and delivered an energetic, polished show complete with impressive and prompt costume changes. One of the most remarkable things about Michael is his ability to read a crowd. Within moments, he knew exactly how to engage our guests and keep the energy high. It’s a rare talent, and he has mastered it.
The performance didn’t end when the music stopped. Michael generously stayed afterward to take photos with guests, making everyone feel special. Every single person at the event was thrilled with his performance. To top it all off, he stayed beyond the scheduled time to teach some of the younger guests how to do the moonwalk—a moment they are still talking about.
Michael is exceptionally talented, professional, kind, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re planning a private party, corporate event, birthday celebration, or special occasion, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Hiring Michael Kiss was one of the best decisions we made, and we look forward to working with him again in the future. Five stars aren’t enough.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much, Layla!
It was an absolute honor and a true privilege to collaborate with you again after 12 years! Loyal, wonderful clients like you are the heartbeat of what we do, and returning to bring the ultimate King of Pop magic back to your circle was an incredibly special milestone for our team.
Thank you for highlighting our meticulous pre-production planning and dedication to visual and choreographic precision. We believe a world-class experience is built on sharp punctuality, immaculate wardrobe curation, and seamless venue coordination long before the spotlight even turns on.
Watching the younger guests light up during the interactive moonwalk segment and seeing your entire crowd match that stadium-grade energy made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for trusting us with your vision once again and for recommending our showcases so highly.
Here’s to the next 12 years of legendary celebrations!
Warmest regards,
MK Production Team

August 29, 2016The Most Amazing Performance You Will Ever Experience
I have never written a review on anything or anyone. I felt so moved to share my feelings on our recent event experience. I must have interviewed over a dozen MJ Tribute Artists. When I saw Michael Kiss's website, I told myself "This Is It". My husband and I hired Michael Kiss asap to perform at our recent double birthday party event. From the initial conversation to our most recent interaction, he was and is a consummate professional. He was very responsive to our needs, his performance was far more than we could have imagined; he spent time with our guests after his performance and was extremely personable; his level of interest in ensuring that his performance exceeded our expectations (and it absolutely did) - it was all simply spectacular! He is the most amazing MJ tribute artist performance that we have ever seen. His stature, uncanny resemblance, voice, etc. were unbelievably - so, so similar to the late, great artist MJ himself. You immediately forgot that he was a Tribute Artist and not Michael Jackson, himself. Our guests were, and are still in awe (as are we) of the experience.....we were absolutely speechless. When he walked onto the staging area, silence filled the air - it was a perfect performance under the stars. We can't wait to work with him again. You won't be disappointed - he is well worth the investment and more. It was the best "gift" that I could have received and for that I will be forever grateful. We love you Michael Kiss - the #1 MJ Tribute Artist! (P.S. - do your research and ensure that you hire the best, the one and only actual" Michael Kiss the MJ Tribute Artist!

Michael was awesome. He was very professional, while also being very personable.
I would highly recommend him. I forgot it wasn't the real Michael Jackson. He made the birthday boy very happy, and delighted the other guests. I would invite Michael Kiss back as Michael Jackson for my future party's. Thank you for making it special.

Additional booking notes
🎵 Sound & Audio Requirements
Playback System: Client must provide a professional PA sound system with excellent clarity and bass response, equipped with a Bluetooth receiver, auxiliary input, or USB hookup ready to play premium production tracks.
Monitoring: For large stages or outdoor festival environments, functional stage monitors (foldback speakers) are highly recommended so the performer can accurately track the audio timing.
Staging & Performance Surface
Dimensions: A flat, level, and unobstructed performance area is required. While spacing can be adjusted for solo appearances, a minimum stage footprint of 12' x 16' is preferred for packages utilizing full choreography and professional back-up dancers.
Surface Condition: The performance surface must be completely clean, dry, and non-slippery. Smooth wood, laminate, linoleum, or professional stage decking is ideal for executing signature footwork, spins, and slides. Concrete, thick carpet, or uneven surfaces may restrict specific dance movements.
Special Illusion Setup: For shows featuring the signature "Smooth Criminal Lean," specific staging coordination or technical adjustments will be discussed directly with the venue production team prior to the event date.
💡 Lighting & Special Effects (Atmosphere)
Standard Lighting: A dynamic theatrical lighting setup is highly preferred to maximize the impact of the metallic accents and sequins on the museum-grade wardrobe.
Production Enhancements: If a client requests specialized production options—such as professional fog/haze machines or synchronized strobe lighting—the venue must permit the use of these atmospheric effects.
🚪 Backstage & Dressing Room Requirements
Privacy: Client must provide a fully private, clean, and secure dressing room or changing area dedicated exclusively to the performer and crew.
Amenities: The room must include mirrors, adequate lighting for wardrobe adjustments, a secure place to store high-end costuming archives safely, and easy access to restrooms away from the main public audience area.
