Brice Najar was born in Annecy, France, in 1979. He is the author of five books about Michael Jackson’s musical world. Itinéraire d’un passionné and The Jacksons : Musicographie 1976-1989 were respectively published in 2013 and 2014. Both books can be read independently but also complement one another.‬

In his following book, Brice held to those musical thematic axes but through a different concept. Published in 2016, Let’s Make HIStory is a collection of interviews with some of the protagonists of the double HIStory album released in 1995. In 2020, the author expanded on his subject with a new book entitled Book On The Dance Floor as a way to understand the King of Pop’s working process in the studio.

Four years later, Brice Najar developped his research in a project entitled From Thriller To Bad and dealing with Michael Jackson’s career path through the 1980s, as a way of deciphering the King of Pop's work in the studio from many different angles.

In addition to his writings, Brice Najar cofounded and is the president of On The Line Association whose goal is to organize events like the MJ MusicDay.
