5	Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson (born April 3, 1998 in Beverly Hills, California) is a model, actress, and musician. She is the second child and only daughter of music legend Music/MichaelJackson.
6
7	Around twenty years before she was born, her father, her aunt La Toya, and family friend Kathy Hilton made a pact that the first daughter of each of them would be named Paris. Kathy would have [[Creator/ParisHilton her own daughter]], La Toya adopted a poodle, and Michael would father this article's subject matter. Paris spent most of her childhood in the (now-controversial) Neverland Ranch alongside older brother Prince and younger brother Bigi (better known as [[NeverLiveItDown Blanket]]), due to her parents divorcing and her father having full custody rights over his children. It seemed like that she and her brothers would end up with relatively normal lives, even with [[OvershadowedByControversy Michael's own wobbly reputation]] causing him to become a paparazzi magnet.
8
9	Then, on June 25, 2009, Michael died when Paris was 11 years old.
10
11	Paris became more well-known in the public eye during Michael's funeral, where she gave out a short speech that was completely improvised, showing the world a daughter who truly loved her father. Paris largely retreated from the public eye until 2017, when she felt more safe in becoming more public, so began a career in modelling, where she ended up on the cover of Magazine/RollingStone, which resulted in a contract with IMG Models in March. That same month, her acting career would begin with a role on a musical drama called ''Star'' in a guest starring role. In 2018, she would meet Gabriel Glenn, a musician who would end up as her boyfriend, and so would begin her music career with the formation of the duo ''The Soundflowers'', all the while she made her feature film debut in ''Film/{{Gringo}}'' as drug smuggler Nelly. She would be in a cameo role in ''Series/ScreamResurrection'' in 2019.
12
13	2020 would be a big stepping stone for Paris' own career, as this was the year that not only brought on her debut album ''wilted'', but she and Glenn were in the Facebook Watch series ''Unfiltered: Paris Jackson & Gabriel Glenn'', where a lot of details she shared about her life mainly come from. She and Glenn broke up in August of that year. She was cast in the then-upcoming film ''Habit'' in the role of Jesus. Yes, ''[[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} that]]'' Jesus.
14
15	In 2021, Paris was cast in the tenth season of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'' in an undisclosed role, possibly before it became ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryDoubleFeature Double Feature]]'', [[WhatCouldHaveBeen which never came to pass]]. She would, however, be present within the franchise, portraying the ManipulativeBastard Maya in ''Series/AmericanHorrorStories''. That same year, she would go on ''Red Table Talk'' where she was interviewed by her friend Creator/WillowSmith, discussing her PTSD from the paparazzi following her, but managing to salvage her mental health via various coping mechanisms, including making music. Speaking of, Jackson would release an EP simply called ''Lost'' in early 2022. At this point, Jackson as a musician was best known for her soft and raspy voice and more folksy style.
16
17	In June of that same year, that sound would change completely with the release of the single ''lighthouse''. Instead of going for the folk sound she had done before, she decided to go into a genre she was more passionate about: [[{{Grunge}} grunge]]. This move was well-received, and so a new signature sound for her was born. In terms of acting, Paris would be in her most well-known role to date a year later: the oddball stripper Hailey in ''Series/{{Swarm}}''. She is set to release an album this year, named ''bandaid''.
