Today we’d like to introduce you to Junior Jackson. Him and his team share his story with us below.
Please kick things off with some background on the story.
Junior Jackson better known by his stage name Junior J, is a musician, singer, and songwriter from Louisville, KY. He began making a name for himself throughout the city of Louisville about seven years ago when he released his first single, I Really Need You in 2009. Maintaining the number one spot for several weeks on the local radio station. Junior grabbed the attention and support of his fans. From here, Junior peaked his career with continuous opening act performances for celebrities such as Anthony Hamilton, Musiq Soulchild, Avant, K.Michelle, Blackstreet, Ginuwine, to name a few. Aside from these performances, Junior also spent two years touring across the U.S with two-time Grammy-nominated rap group Nappy Roots, whom he still occasionally travels and performs with.
A more recent crowning moment in Junior’s musical journey occurred two years ago, with the release of his single Turning Me On, an El DeBarge remake of I Like It. With this release, Turning Me On has remained a top hit on local stations such as 93.1 The Beat (an IHEARTRADIO affiliate) as well as many other stations. As a growing artist, Junior has been apart of the music industry for ten years now and continues to work hard and provide his fans with the music they love and still continues to do so. I’m currently pushing a new song called “selfish” which is on all platforms.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Had a lot of ups and downs thru the years with bad management, not the greatest production and just not really a lot about the industry until about a few years ago now it’s smooth.
Can you give our readers some background on your music?
I’m a singer-songwriter, I specialize in writing my own material and keeping my songs soulful, I’m more known for my high notes in songs, I’m most proud of the consistency that we have had in these last few months with my new team, what sets me apart is that I don’t try to fit in with anything I stand out.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Really no luck has played any roll in my music just hard work.
