For the first time in his 26 years, the 'Hee Hoo Boss', otherwise known as the 'Jamaican MJ', received his first Christmas present, and he is beaming with excitement.

As he helped to decorate the Christmas tree at his manager Lady Strawbs' home in West London, the deejay and Michael Jackson impersonator said he is living his childhood dream.

"The first toy mi ever get inna mi life is the one that mi manager buy while mi deh here in the UK. It is a yellow Lamborghini racing car and mi love it," he beamed.

"A next present wrap up under the tree fi mi. Mi feel special eno because when mi a grow up, mi never really get treated good, I never received any presents or toys. A di first time mi ever go pon plane too," he said.

Jamaican MJ, whose given name is Ackeem Walker, landed at London's Gatwick Airport with his team on October 25 and did his first show in Birmingham a day later.

He said his performance at an event hosted by Billboard selector Boom Boom earlier this year caught the attention of UK promoter Rich and Famous. The duo contacted his manager Lady Strawbs and the rest, he said, is history.

"Mi perform in Birmingham, Bristol, London and then back to Birmingham. Mi love the show life because all a the pretty girl dem love mi and run behind mi a shout out 'Michael'. Dem just love off the Hee Hoo Boss suh. Some people get startled when mi buss into a MJ move but mi just love to dance and make people happy and mi love the girls dem, " he said.

"Yuh have some people who will come and dance with me and big mi up, while others will get miserable and will walk past mi," he added.

Jamaican MJ has a striking resemblance of the late King of Pop, with his bleached skin and jheri curls. But beyond the flashy moves and viral fame, the entertainer is living with autism. Upon realising this, Lady Strawbs decided to help by teaching him to read and write.

"I bought kindergarten reading materials for him. The main thing I wanted him to learn was how to count - 10,100, and 1,000 - so he could manage his own money. He is very happy here in the UK and may God bless his heart. He is a sweet little soul," she said.
