Janet Jackson Taps Teen Group Mindless Behavior to Open Tour

Mindless Behavior is ready to rock with the best. The teen quartet has been tapped to open for Janet Jackson’s “Number Ones: Up Close & Personal Tour” on select North American dates, most of which have already sold out.

Jackson handpicked the L.A.-based group, consisting of Prodigy, Roc Royal, Ray Ray, and Princeton, to support younger acts. “I am showcasing 20 kids under 20 who have changed their communities in positive ways,” stated Janet. “It’s exciting to have Mindless Behavior open for me in these cities because they are enriching our global community with their love of music, and that is what 20 under 20 is all about. I first listened to them on YouTube and think they are great. I hope you enjoy these kids as much as I do, they are very talented.”

The group echoed her sentiments, thrilled to be opening for the pop icon. “We’re so excited to be joining someone as legendary as Janet Jackson on her tour,” said Princeton. “We can’t wait to perform on her stage and show the crowd how to get Mindless!”

The teen act formed in 2008 following an audition for Vincent Herbert, who also discovered Lady Gaga. They have previously opened for Justin Bieber and the Backstreet Boys.
