Genevieve Jackson

Genevieve Katherine Jackson (born December 9, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. She comes as the latest talent to emerge from the famously talented Jackson family. She is the daughter of the youngest brother Randy Jackson and former Columbian model, Alejandra Patricia Oaziaza and niece to Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and her other uncles and aunts. Genevieve has five siblings; Stevanna, Randy Jr., Donte, Jaafar and Jermajesty. From early on, Genevieve always knew that she wanted to be a performer. When she was just four years old she performed in Las Vegas at the Jackson Family Honors event with her family. When she was eight, she traveled to London to join her uncle Michael onstage in front of thousands of people. The experience inspired her, and she knew in her heart that she wanted to be a performer. A year later she began her vocal training with the legendary vocal coach Brenda Lee Eager who has worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Prince. Genevieve cherishes the time she has spent over the years accompanying her aunt Janet to studio recordings and numerous video shoots and rehearsals. Most recently Genevieve sang background vocals for her aunt, LaToya. The resulting single, “I Don’t Play That,” was featured on the television show “Armed and Famous”. “I am blessed to come from such a talented family”, she says. Genevieve was interviewed in 2004 on Good Morning America about growing up in this famous family. In true Jackson form, she is somewhat shy at times, but according to those who know her, once she gets on that stage it’s a whole different story. Plain and simple—she lights it up! Poised to make her mark on the music scene, the budding artist attributes her carefully orchestrated career to her mother, her biggest fan, from whom she gets her Latin influence and striking beauty. Blessed with natural talent, Genevieve has also benefitted from ten years of professional voice training and six years of professional dance training. “My mom always wanted to make certain that I was as well prepared as possible before making the leap.” Genevieve speaks glowingly of her loving relationship with her grandmother, Jackson family matriarch, Katherine Jackson. “I grew up under the watchful eye of my grandmother. She has always been loving, kind and supportive of me” says a misty-eyed Genevieve. When asked where she wants to go musically Genevieve says, “I see myself doing many styles. I don’t want to just stop with pop and R&B, but would also like to do Reggatone, Rock, and Hip-Hop.” Genevieve says that some of her goals include collaborating with Shakira. As she stands ready to take the next step in her musical path, she brings the drive and enthusiasm of a young woman who knows who she is and what she wants to accomplish. “My goal is to be the best that I can be” she says. “It’s my time.”
