December 5, 2018An Amazing Performer with a kind heart
Rico is extremely talented. His performance was epic. From the way he gets into character to the way he makes sure everyone is having a great time. He keeps the audience involved and entertained. He has brought Michael to life for this generation of children that will never get to see him perform. I'm glad we have Rico. He is a must have for your next event.

December 4, 2018Best Party Ever!
I can't tell you how many people commented that it was the best birthday party ever! Rico did an amazing job, from his singing and dancing, to his quick costume changes. Would Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great Michael Jackson impersonator!!

August 6, 2018Excellent
After seeing Rico perform at a neighborhood festival, we looked into hiring him for my 4 year old nephew’s birthday party. Rico did an excellent job. He was on time, put on a fun performance that entertained the adults and children alike, took pictures afterwards, and even stayed longer than expected to play music that had everyone up dancing. We greatly appreciated his involvement, and hope to someday have him for another event. The venue said my nephew’s party was the best they had ever hosted, and my nephew hasn’t been able to stop talking about “Michael Jackson” ever since.
Thank you so much, Rico. Keep up the good work!

June 25, 2026Book Rico Immediately!
Getting to see Rico perform was not just a highlight of my sister’s bachelorette party, it was a highlight of life. His dance moves and outfits were amazing, and we loved how he interacted with the party. We all got to meet with him after and take pics and he is a super nice guy. For added enjoyment i recommend wearing funny wigs

June 17, 2026Rico/ Michael Jackson - Hire Immediately!!
You won't regret hiring Rico for your event. He provided outstanding entertainment and kept everyone engaged and dancing. Rico did an excellent job interacting with the crowd and even stayed afterward for autographs and photos. It was a wonderful event, I would gladly hire Rico again.

What to expect
Out the gate The audience should expect a high energy explosive tribute to the world's greatest entertainer Michael Jackson. My show is filled with love laughter and a fantasy of a lifetime, interactive entertainment, which mean un-like most MJ tribute artist I get the audience to participate in my show as I perform because once you put on MJ music, everyone want to dance and it's not all about me. I want everyone to have a blast. then after the performance I mix/mingle meet and greet and sing autographs for those who want to share the experience.
