I do not sing, I do not dance, I am simply a Michael look-a-like. For about 15 years I trailed Jackson and would play him for his fans.

I have been secret until now, I feel it's important Michael's fans know about me, and I hope you all understand why he used me for certain reasons..

i began to work as a small time Michael Jackson impersonator in Las vegas casino circuit in 1985.

i had an extreme resembles to Michael Jackson's mannerism, my voice, my body, and my moves was nearly identical to Michael.

i was contacted with MJ by one of Michael Jackson's agents in 1988. he explained to me that Michael had heard about me alot and that he would like to meet me in person.

so in 1988, i met Michael, and he explained to me that his fans, his press, his security, and his life was exploding to the world and that it became to much for him to deal with. after that, he asked me if i would be intersted in becoming his personal body double so i accepted his suggestion and in 1991 i underwent extensive plastic surgery to look as MJ himself.

Michael and i wanted to be perfect, however, i spent lots of time together so that i could understand how michael would react to his fans and the press.

so, i learnt every Michael's moves and became Michael in his own head.

in 1991 i was invited to live in neverland valley ranch with Michael Jackson and i became one of the closest personal friends of Michael after fulfilling my dream.

it was in my contract with Michael that i could not publicly speak out about my career with Michael.

now that Michael is gone, the contact has been annulled, however, i remains mostly silent for Michael's sak.

this is my 1st time ever coming out publicly, and even still, i did so quitely and professionally .

i did this for Michael's Fans only. i've lived the life of Michael since 1991 and im ready for retirement but i feel the fans need me now more than ever and thats why im here. i am here for you

I would love to get to know some of you, and hope you all feel the same..

Love as always, only this time as Barry and not Michael.

Its All For L.O.V.E :)
