However, never feeling fully embedded in the Jazz world, he quickly went onto the session musician circuit, playing for high profile artists such as Stormzy and Jordan Rakei. 

However, in 2020 Jackson started his own musical path and quickly gained attention from the likes of BBC Introducing, Jazz FM, worldwide FM.  

Jackson's music has also featured on top Spotify Editorial playlists such as 'State of Jazz', 'Jazz UK', 'Jazz-Funk' and 'Jazz Club'. With over 1 million streams to date!
