Today we’d like to introduce you to Victor Jackson.
Hi Victor, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story really starts with a song. My dad’s from Atlanta, my mom’s from Spanish Harlem, and they met singing in the choir at Talladega College. I was born at Georgia Baptist Hospital, and by third grade, I already knew I wanted to go to Tri-Cities High School. Music was the heartbeat of our home — my parents singing duets in the kitchen, me and my siblings putting on living room concerts. If music is a universal language, the Jackson household was fluent.
As I got older, my love for dance and fashion grew right alongside my mutual feelings for music. Even then, I saw those three — song, style, and movement — as the recipe for a robust life. I’d dig through my dad’s old ‘70s and ‘80s clothes — flared corduroys, leather Members Only jackets — and spend hours at the College Park Public Library finding books, films, and albums that connected it all.
After graduating from Tri-Cities in 2003, I spent a short time at Savannah College of Art & Design before realizing campus wasn’t where my story would unfold. I came back home, dove straight into the industry — and I’ve been working in entertainment ever since.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
In the words of Langston Hughes, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” As a skinny Black boy with soft mannerisms and peculiar interests, I took some hits growing up — and I returned them as well. I also found my foundation early. I learned Psalm 139:14 in Sunday School, and it became an affirmation I carried through my darkest moments:
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Those words became my anchor — in grade school, in my 20s, and even now. I’ll never forget auditioning for a music video in Atlanta. The choreographers cast me, but when the artist saw me, he said I was “too pretty” for the job. I booked it and lost it in less than ten minutes. That kind of rejection, though painful, built resilience. Every challenge — personal or professional — has refined my perspective and deepened my sense of purpose. Each one has taught me which environments help me grow, which ones dim my light, and which ones strengthen my roots. That wisdom is hard-earned, but it’s invaluable.
And honestly, these days I just laugh — because every “no” I’ve ever gotten has manifested a better “yes” down the line. Sometimes you just have to keep dancing until the timing catches up.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m an artist of multiple mediums and the founder of Glam Rock Soul Entertainment Group. After losing my brother Vaughn in 2008, I threw myself into choreography and creative direction — trying to hide in grief, but ultimately discovering my purpose. Working with Kandi Burruss on The Real Housewives of Atlanta brought my work into the homes of millions, and over the years I’ve helped shape debut performances for artists like Iggy Azalea, August Alsina, and Summer Walker, while re-staging classics for Karyn White and Brownstone.
Returning to my own music felt like the next step. My singles, “Lights, Camera, Action” and “He Belongs To The City,” have been featured in David Makes Man and Noah’s Arc: The Movie, and I’ve performed at MOBIfest, Harlem Pride, and the Pure Heat Community Festival — each stage a celebration of Black queer brilliance through sound and movement.
Now, I’m stepping into creative coaching, guiding a new generation of visionaries to blend identity, inspiration, and innovation in ways that feel true to them. What sets me apart is that I’ve lived every side of the creative process — the spotlight, the struggle, and the stillness in between. My work sits at the intersection of entertainment and empowerment, and at this point in my journey, I’m not chasing visibility — I’m building legacy.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
You can work with me by booking a GRS 1:1 Creative Coaching session at www.mrglamrocksoul.com or through the link on my socials (@mrglamrocksoul). I’ve navigated the ups and downs of the creative process more times than I can count, and while I can’t pave your road, I can help you start your journey with clarity, confidence, and momentum. GRS 1:1 is for entertainers, entrepreneurs, and everyday people alike — if you have an idea, impact is waiting in the wings.
You can also support my work by streaming my music. My latest release, “Strut”, featuring Big Freedia, Jessica Betts, and Drag Race darling Olivia Luxx, appears on RILEY: The Mixtape. This sonic sampler is a delicious first taste of Brian Jordan Jr.’s HBCU musical, RILEY and the streams are on fire.
I’m beyond thrilled to be part of it — and look out for my little sister, Dri Jack on the project too!
