2025 GloTwp. Arts Market invites Jayden (Jackson) Miller back to the stage (or parking lot)

Jayden (Jackson) Miller reprised his performance at the 2025 Gloucester Twp. Arts Market and Green Fair on Sunday, April 27.

Although it was a super windy day, forcing us to limit our setup and eliminate our curtain and any props, Jayden brought the magic as he continues to show his growth as a performing artist in MJ tribute.
Numbers included The Way You Make Me Feel, Dangerous, and the iconic Billie Jean.
A small but appreciative crowd enjoyed his efforts as even the extreme wind gusts could not deter his efforts to re-create the moves of the King of Pop.

JJMiller performs before a Bunker Hill Middle School crowd at their 2024 Harvest Dance

 


Thanks to discussions and plans between Trish Miller and Frank Cabrerra (BHMS teacher and Harvest Dance planner), Jayden (Jackson) Miller performed two numbers to open the 2024 BHMS Harvest Dance on November 1. After about 200+ students piled into the school's cafeteria around 6:30PM, Jayden opened with the seasonal classic "Thriller"  and had students, teachers, and chaperones singing along to the chorus while enjoying his re-creation of the iconic dance choreography.

After a rousing round of applause, he followed up with "Billie Jean" and stunned the audience with his dance moves including the crowd favorite, Moonwalk. All in attendance were amazed at his level of proficiency, and he showed the students what is possible with hard work and dedication to your craft even at their age (Jayden is a middle school student in another district).

JJM was added to the scrolling photos of school events from November which will perhaps introduce him to more of the over 7,000 students in the Washington Township Public Schools district located in Gloucester County, NJ.

JJMiller shines during intermission at the Buddy Katz (MJ Tribute) Thriller show in Runnemede

 It's always nice to support others with like interests. That's just what happened at the recent August 17 Thriller show in Runnemede, NJ put on by Buddy Katz (MJ Impersonator) and his crew. 

The Buddy Katz Experience presents: A Tribute To Michael Jackson's Thriller. Come join us as we pay tribute to the best-selling album of all time, Michael Jackson's Thriller. 

We attended with Jayden and he, as usual, went in costume. During their intermission, they allowed him to show off his proficiency as an MJ artist. This was not planned, so the following video shows how well he carries himself without preparation.

JJMiller performs at Splash Day 2024 in Monroe Twp, Gloucester County, NJ

Jayden (Jackson) Miller performed in Williamstown, Monroe Twp. for their 3rd Annual Splash Day on August 10 in the Pfieffer Community Center to a welcoming crowd of parents, kids, and volunteers. The weather outside cooperated and led to a tremendous success for their event. Starting at 2pm, Jayden performed six MJ classics onstage as parents relaxed inside and enjoyed the magical movements displayed as a tribute to the King of Pop. 

Although no one will ever quite match what Michael Jackson brought to an audience, JJM certainly brought back the memories by performing everything from "Billie Jean" to "Thriller." He also added an additional two numbers never before performed in public: "Jam" and "The Way You Make Me Feel." Fun was had by all–especially the kids dancing on the floor in front of the stage to "Thriller" maybe picturing themselves performing one day.

As usual, Jayden's talent and passion for what he does was on full display more than likely surprising many who wondered how someone who never experienced Michael Jackson during his lifetime could bring that stage presence to life.

Jayden (Jackson) Miller performs at Super Saturday

Jayden (Jackson) Miller performed a live MJ tribute at the Washington Lake Park Amphitheater at 11:30 AM in Sewell, NJ.
This 12-year-old (at the time) Michael Jackson tribute artist enjoyed performing the masterful moves of the legendary King of Pop. He danced (along with lip-syncing) songs (in costume) such as Dangerous, Thriller, Billie Jean, and Black or White. This event was another example of him re-creating excitement, for very receptive audiences around the local area, for charity, community, and private events. He continues to display his technically enthralling and emotionally stimulating impressions of possibly the greatest entertainer of all time.
Super Saturday was held on May 11 from 10-4 pm.

(Note: the following video clip is taken from his re-creation of "Dangerous" as performed at the 1995 MTV Music Awards).
