On October 27, 2018, Jaafar Jackson made a significant impact with his solo artist debut at the prestigious Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. He captivated the audience with a compelling set of four songs - "You're The One," "Take Control," "Hurricane," and "Start Me Up," performing alongside the acclaimed 1500 or Nothin' band. This outstanding performance was a highlight of a NASGO company event, aptly titled "The Reveal." None of these songs have been officially released, and "Hurricane" remains a fan favorite.
In 2018, Jaafar Jackson and NASGO's co-founder Eric Tippetts embarked on an innovative venture to utilize blockchain technology to "tokenize" Jaafar's album, "Famous," a project created in a collaboration with producer Hardy Indiigo. Regrettably, despite their ambitious plans, the album's highly anticipated launch was abruptly canceled at the last moment, marking the conclusion of the partnership between NASGO and Jaafar Jackson.
Jaafar's initial foray onto the stage actually occurred a year earlier, in December 2017. He made his first public performance by singing "The Christmas Song" alongside his legendary father, Jermaine Jackson, and brother Jermajesty during the MAX Proms TV special, which was recorded in the Netherlands. This earlier appearance set the stage for his eventual breakout as a solo artist.
Exciting news awaits fans as Jaafar Jackson portrays his uncle, Michael Jackson, in the highly anticipated biopic MICHAEL, set for a global release. Lionsgate is releasing the movie in the United States on April 18, 2025, with Universal Pictures handling overseas distribution (excluding Japan). Directed by Antoine Fuqua, produced by Graham King with a screenplay by John Logan, this opportunity humbles and honors Jaafar as he brings his uncle's extraordinary story to life on the big screen. Production and filming is underway since January 22nd, 2024.
