About Me
Born in Evanston, IL, Jackie Wilson is no stranger to a microphone. Singing since the age of three in her church choir, her rich, melodic voice has been coating tracks with a rich dose of soul for most of her life. Starting out listening to classic radio shows, Jackie's love for house goes back to her childhood in the Chicago area. After taking a break from singing during her early college years, she dove in headfirst fronting the five-piece band Chi-town band Home.During this time, she also cut her teeth getting involved in Chicago's monolithic house scene. She frequented spots such as Boom Boom Room, Smart Bar, and Madbar where she fell under the spell of Chi-town talents like Mark Grant, DJ Heather, and Frique. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Jackie connected with SoCal producer Justin Michael for collaborations on tracks: "Ready for More", featured on British house label Duffnote; and "Turn it up" on Delecto. These tracks found their way into the hands of world-renowned DJs such as DJ Heather, Miguel Migs, the 3 Degrees DJs, Kaskade, BBC 1Xtra's Aaron Ross, Diz, and Marques Wyatt.Recently teaming with Jasonic Audio productions has been a welcome breath. It allows for a return to her more organic songwriting, and ever the late bloomer, she continues to blossom. Look for another Justin Michael colab called "Funky Love", recently remixed by Jay-J and released on iTunes under Swank Records fall 2006.
