Female Force - Michael Frizell G.

Janet Jackson is the youngest of the iconic Jackson family. Growing up in the Jackson household undoubtedly profoundly impacted her future career. Janet's older brothers, including superstar Michael, were already established stars in the music industry, and her father, Joe Jackson, managed their careers. Janet was exposed to the entertainment world from a young age and developed a keen interest in music and performance. A child actor turned musician, Janet reached superstar status when she signed a $40 million contract with Virgin Records first and then an $80 million contract. But her trajectory was halted by the infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004. Read about this icon's story in the latest issue of Female Force.
