My name is Troy Jackson. I am from Coldwater, MI.
Just south of Kalamazoo, north of Ft. Wayne, IN, west of Detroit and east of Chicago.I love music: Performing, writing, sitting around playing guitar no matter what mood I am in and listening. I love seeing the crowd sing along to music you have created. I love entertaining. I love the release people get when they come to see me perform and I know that they are having a good time not only watching the show, but also becoming part of the show.I have loved music my whole life. I have been singing since I was four. I wrote my first song when I was eight. I have always liked different styles of music. I grew up listening to artists like Prince, Rick Springfield, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Cinderella, Ted Nugent, LL Cool J, Sade, Skid Row, KISS, Warrant, just to name a few. I started playing in a band and in clubs when I was 15. I played the local cover scene from the time I was 15 to 19. When I was 19, I played in a couple original bands in Detroit. Nothing really ever panned out, so I took a couple of years off.When I was 21, I was in a band called Enger Krest. We played in cover bars by telling the owners that we played covers. We would then go in, bring our crowd and play 38 originals. We released a cd and had a couple of songs played on local radio.I took a break from performing from 1995 to 1999. In 1999 I joined a band called 10 Gauge Rage that later became Rage Inc. We played in clubs in MI, IN, and WI. Playing covers and originals. We released a cd called "DEMOlition" and had a big following through our website.In 2003, I joined an existing band, Hard Core Porn. We were the house band playing covers at a club called Planet Rock. Having that gig gave us the opportunity to open for the nationals that came through and gave us a chance to play our original music. Hard Core Porn had a name change and became Black Sea Burial. (It was a little more radio friendly for ads ) From 2003 to 2005 we opened for Skid Row, Warrant, Jackyl, Saliva, Dope, Smile Empty Soul, Ra, 10 years, Twisted Method, Depswa and some other acts that came through. I have auditioned in Chicago and Grand Rapids for the Rockstar series. I am also working on my solo acoustic cd. My NEW band "JACKSON" is just starting to book shows. It is the heavy side of my music... make
