About this user

Jami Jackson came to the Big Apple with a mission, plan, and a mantra. Her mantra is live for today, hope for tomorrow, and never look back on the past. With this dedication, Jackson graduated from Columbia University and scored a prestigious research coordinator position in Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She also dedicates a multitude of hours each day pursuing her passion music. The word determination comes to mind, however, that would still be an inadequate description for a 23 year old on a mission.

By night, this gifted singer is performing around the Big Apple at such notable venues as The Apollo Theatre, the Nuyorican Poets Café, Ashford and Simpsons Sugar Bar, The Bitter End, and Dont Tell Mama, among others. Jackson books her schedule months in advance and relies on her Blackberry PDA to keep her punctual and prepared. I am so blessed to be in-demand for live gigs given the economy says Jackson, and thats why I always want to give my all. Her talent is undeniable and her powerful declaration of love and motivational songs have Jackson solidly booked for weddings, churches, corporate events and social causes, such as, LIFEbeat, (an HIV/AIDS advocacy group).

Already a media darling - featured and profiled in such prestigious national media outlets as: MTV, BET, New York Times, Seventeen, NY Daily News, numerous regional print outlets, and, major radio stations in Top markets such as: Detroit, North Carolina and Baltimore. Ms. Jackson also became a reality documentary star, with the airing of Are You Positive?, which was seen by 5.1 million people on World AIDS Day, on the popular Black Entertainment Television (BET), sponsored by the Kaiser Foundation. "Jami had just what we were looking for, someone down-to-earth yet extraordinary. Here was a young sister, from the South, working hard on a 9-to-5 in New York City yet still finding time to offer her amazing talent to the fight against HIV/AIDS. That's inspiring, says Grant Clark, producer/director of BET Networks.

Having released a new peppered sound and direction, Jackson is ecstatic with her latest song, Keep Walkin On. Jackson flexed her muscle as co-writer/producer, with songwriter, Sandra Jackson, and producer, Tommy Faragher, the celebrated Grammy nominated producer who worked with such artists as Al Green, The OJays, and Taylor Dayne. Ms. Jackson says, this song will be an anthem for those facing hard times, looking for hope, and a clear message to keep chasing your dream. Shes beams with pride that the song was used to inspire and educate many about HIV/AIDS awareness and she donated all her proceeds from the song to the AIDS Walk in New York City on May 17th. The Keep Walkin On song was also the theme song for the United States Tennis Association Easterns first ever Charity Tennis 5K Walk, as part of their Fathers Day Family Grassroots Challenge in June 2009. Keep Walkin On was also featured at the ING NYC Marathon during her performance for the runners.

In 2007, Jackson released her immensely popular debut CD, Call My Name, available at www.jamijackson.net, on the independent label, Blacque Records. The album faired very well on the Internet, coupled with her breakout singles, Ill Let You Go,and Sista Girl, which became a popular performance video on YouTube. The album featured a collection of 10 original songs exploring a range of emotions, from lost love to spiritual inspiration. Contributing her talent to a compilation CD for LifeBeat, with an original song called Love At First Sight, as a way to uplift the residents at LIFEbeat was her way of giving back to an amazing organization. I believe its important to stand for a cause. HIV/AIDS is impacting my generation at an alarming rate and I simply want to do my part, says Jackson. Erika Banks of LIFEbeat says, Jami is a phenomenal young performer. She is not only a powerhouse on the stage, but she is a pleasure to work with. I know I can always count on her to show up on time and ready to rock the room! She is a stellar member of the LIFEbeat family.

From the Internet to the television airwaves, and the subways of New York City, Jami Jackson is strategically carving out a musical path of passion and relevance. Nothing can compare to singing and performing, to writing songs. I love using my voice to connect with people, says Jackson. I want to make a difference in someones life.
