Born and raised in New Jersey, Carter has been thrilling audiences as Michael Jackson ever since he was a young boy. At just 8 years old, Pete
would dance in front of his idol on the TV screen as his mother sewed replica Michael Jackson costumes fitted just for him.

In April of 2009, Pete was able to spend time with Michael Jackson in what would be his final moments. He asked Michael to autograph his back in Sharpie marker- and then got it permanently tattooed on later that night. A one-of-a-kind mark of a true legend left behind on Pete for his entire life.  Pete has the blessing of MJ with him always.In July of 2009, Pete attended Jackson’s memorial service at the Staples Center, leaving behind a promise to Michael to do everything in his power to keep MJ’s legacy alive for years to come.

Jeffrey Perez is one of the best new and exciting Michael Jackson tribute artists to take center stage. Music has always been a big part of Jeffrey’s life, and he’s not just a performer but indeed a special one. At the age of 1, he began to bounce to the beat of Michael Jackson’s Bad Album and began to mimic the iconic legend. At the age of 3, he became obsessed with the entertainer and started to structure his career mastering Michael’s sound, body language and look. Today he has become a hit tribute performer across the United States. In his spare time, he is working on an upcoming solo album. There are many other Michael Jackson tribute artists, some have a remarkable resemblance and others can dance or even sing like the King Of Pop, Jeffrey does it all from four different eras and artistically portrays Michael Jackson like no one else can.
