Who Is Wade Robson? A Brief Biography
Born on September 17, 1982, in Brisbane, Australia, Wade Jeremy William Robson fancied a life as a professional dancer and choreographer.
Robson started his career at the age of five appearing on Australia’s Star Search. His win on the show got him discovered and subsequently coached by pop king Michael Jackson.
He became part of Jackson’s inner circle featuring in popular recordings like “Black or White,” “Jam,” and “Heal the World.”
In no time, he started directing music videos, commercials, and stage performances. Robson was only a teenager when he choreographed huge stars such as Britney Spears, Usher, and NSYNC.
By 2003, he was still on a roll. He created and hosted the MTV hip-hop dance search competition series “The Wade Robson Project.”
Later on, he choreographed pieces for the second season of “So You Think You Can Dance,” winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for the dance number “Ramalama (Bang Bang).”
Fast forward to 2013, Wade Robson suffered a nervous breakdown and dropped a bombshell accusing his mentor Michael Jackson of molestation from the ages of 7 to 14.
He filed a lawsuit against Jackson’s estate, then walked away from his career. He moved with his wife and son to the island of Maui, where he became a documentary filmmaker.
After a lot of therapy and soul-searching, Robson eventually got his groove back. He has remained a creative force for stage, film, and TV with over 25 years of visionary output so far.
