Career [edit]
During the summer of 2008, the Jackson family (including Tito) stayed at a holiday let (rental) for six weeks in Appledore, Devon, England while searching for a house to buy in the area. The project was filmed for a Channel 4 documentary called "The Jacksons are Coming", which was aired in 2008. Taj and TJ appear with their father, but Taryll did not join them on the trip. The 3 family members also attended a Michael Jackson fan event in Devon as part of their stay, ringing him up during the event which led to Michael talking to the fans over a loud speaker on the phone.[1][2]
All 3 of them appear on the new A&E TV show entitled The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.[3] They appear with their father Tito, who is trying to convince them to relaunch their career.[3]
On January 31, 2010 the three brothers appeared on stage at the 52nd Grammy Awards to support their cousins Prince Michael, Jr. and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson as they accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of their father, Michael Jackson. February 1, 2010 all 3 brothers then appeared in the remake of We Are The World, this time in aid of the Haiti Appeal. However, they did not sing main parts of the song, only the background. Currently Taj is working on the Code Z zombie series and a science fiction project called "Clone 3".[4] TJ is selected to play the role of prince Jean-Luc in the new stage version of Larry Hart's musical Sisterella that is scheduled to premiere in Fall of 2011.[5] Taryll also is working on his first solo album that he hopes will make his family and fans proud.[6]
