Ep 411-Renée Jackson: ENJOY THIS SEASON
Manage episode 358074907 series 2792988
On this episode I am joined by Singer, Actor, Streamer, and now vlogger Renée Jackson. Born and raised in sunny Tampa, Florida, Renée grew up listening to her father play records. Influenced by Pop, Soul and R&B divas such as Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson, Renée found her gift of song. Her growing interest in all things music, would earn her a spot in the prestigious musical theatre program at Blake High School of the Performing Arts. During her senior year, she had the opportunity to audition for Pippin. It wasn’t until she landed her first lead role as “Leading Player” that her journey with musical theater would be sealed.
Jackson later went on to study musical theater at Ball State University (B.F.A.), where she was able to hone her craft and expand on the fundamentals of singing, acting, and dancing.
Post collegiate training, Jackson took to the stage for several theme parks, cruise liners, and theaters both regional and international. After landing the role of Felicia Farrell in Memphis, Renée acquired a membership with Actor’s Equity. These opportunities helped shape and mold her into the professional she is today.
Now a NYC-based actress, Ms. Jackson resides in Union City, New Jersey. When she’s not on stage, she can be found serving up life chats across social media as a live-streamer and blogger. Her down-time is filled with fitness, podcast, home-decor, dance, and natural hair care. She enjoys planning, personal development books, traveling abroad, and spicy foods.
