Daimyo

Daimyô is a Michael Jackson double, imitator and show act. He released own records, where he referenced Michael Jackson in his songs and even used short samples taken from Michael's songs. Daimyô was born in Surinam (South America) into a large, showbiz affine family with 3 brothers and 3 sisters. He visited the polytechnic in Den Haag (Netherlands) when he first saw The Jackson 5 on TV and decided to make his own show after finishing school. In 1987 Daimyô, together with his brother Djowin (as [a28795]) and sister Vera (as Sheila E.), formed the band [a457609]. 1988 was the year where he met Michael Jackson's father Joseph in Netherlands, who was impressed by Daimyô's talent and gave permission to call himself Daimyô Jackson. He was also given the task to act as a situational double in order to divert fans from the real Michael Jackson. The word "daimyô" is Japanese for "baron", chosen as reference to the so-called "king of pop", Michael Jackson.
