About Alexandra Jackson:

Alexandra Jackson is an American singer, songwriter and musician from Atlanta. She learned piano as a child, when she began classical training. Her household was filled with a range of music, including Miles Davis, Earth, Wind & Fire, Johnny Hartman, Luciana Pavarotti, Michael Jackson, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. In her early years, Alexandra was a soloist at Lincoln Center as part of the Essentially Ellington competition.
