Welcome!
Most likely the law of attraction has led you here because you too love music. For me, music is everything; it's a healing and driving force. Surf around and learn more about me and my life. You can read all about my early diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes and my battle with HS (Hidradenitis Suppurativa). In 2018 I gave a TEDx talk about HS; that's on here too. I talked about it on American Idol and most recently was filmed for a documentary by Positive Exposure. I've always been really open about what I've gone through with my conditions. I use my experience and the hardship I've gone through to fuel my music.
I am a singer/ songwriter/ musician/ producer/ engineer. I am working toward being a full-time touring and recording musician. I am incredibly lucky to be able to pursue this career, and to have endless support from my family and so many musical mentors. Check out my music page for my most recent releases and the events page to come meet me in person. Thank you for visiting :). Music heals,
Jackson
