On Episode 117 of the Guest Speaker Series, we are joined by rapper, producer, & song-writer Jackson Whalan! Jackson was a pivotal feature on our debut single “Try Me” also featuring Teeba, Sig Shalome, Aristotle Jones, & Nate Nics, which is out now on all platforms.
Jackson has a uniquely interesting story which he details in depth: it includes his early days being ingratiated into the Railroad Street Youth Project while living out in Great Barrington, MA, a program that was deeply influential to his initial love for music. Jackson then moved to NYC for college, where he was in a band and made major progress in his musical career.
Jackson & Mike also discuss his new single with HunnaG called “Rich Life” and his experience being on his platform, as well as the success of his single “This Hits Different” which has been widely successful in the sync game, most notably landing on an Xfinity commercial. He also details his upcoming album and what fans may be able to anticipate with this new sound he is cultivating.
Jackson & Mike also discuss a number of other topics, including Jackson’s experiences studying abroad in India, performing in front of Elie Wiesel, producing for KRS-One, what he’s learning by being a new father, his obsession with ice cream, and so much more.
