Rising Stars: Meet Bernard Jackson of National

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bernard Jackson.

Hi Bernard, 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?
What started out as a dream in my basement turned into a career of a lifetime

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it has not been a very smooth road. I have experienced a lot of obstacles along the way from people trying to make me give up to people telling me that this will not be a career for me telling me that this should only be a hobby and telling me that I would never make it in this industry.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am the CEO and founder of a record label. I am also a producer. I am also an engineer and an artist, and I also am a brand manager for several other artists. I own my own distribution platform as well non-profit work that I do in the community I’ve written songs and perform songs for the city of Detroit the city of April and I’ve worked with the Book Bank Foundation doing a non-profit work all over the city of Atlanta and my music has touched people from all over the world, both young and old I do Gospel and R&B and Pope all inspirational music

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I feel like anytime you dare to do anything from the norm then it’s always looking at as a risk. I took a risk to choose to do the music business in a society and a community where there was only the automotive industry and college, but I stepped out on Faith and I took the risk because I had a lot of faith in God and I trusted that the gifts were given to me to make room for me.
