No. MediaWiki does not support searching by semantic user data and is
unlikely to do so in the near future on Wikimedia installations. You
might want to check something with categories though, or a real search
using list=search.
Since you know the page title starts with Michael Jackson, you
could
also do:
api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apprefix=Michael_Jackson
Which will list all pages whose title starts with "Michael Jackson"
(just like [[Special:Prefixindex/Michael_Jackson]] does).
