Carl Jackson was born in Fort Worth, TX. on May 2^nd, 1973.  His parents, Carl and Sarah Jackson met at a Gospel Concert, both were musicians; Carl a jazz guitarist and Sarah Jean a pianist.  As a child Carl  attended a private Christian school.  Carl's love of music began at an early age, inspired by his mother, Sarah Jean, who was a Gospel singer and uplifted many hearts and souls through local cable tv and many churches until God called her home.  Sarah Jean lived the life she sang about.  Her motto was "A family who prays together, stays together".  The Jackson family began each day with pray and daily Bible reading.  Sarah Jean taught Carl and little sister, Windy, to pray, sing, and play instruments.  Carl's main instrument was the drums which he began playing in church at the age of 6, then later piano. 

Carl wasn't a typical 9 year old boy that played with action figures and trucks.  He spent his time walking around with a tape recorder and microphone; interviewing anyone who would answer.  His love for music and behind the scenes tv production increased with age.  Carl produced his first movie at age 19. 

Carl Jackson's love of music and film is evident in his many music videos, movies, and recording artists that he has worked with.  He is dedicated to bringing inspirational music and film to millions of people. 

.....My love for gospel music began at an early age.  I first saw Bobby Jones when I was 8 years old.  My Mom watched him on cable – we were the first black people on the block with cable.  He was on BET – Jones was the only black show on tv. doing black gospel music.  Later, I bought records.  At 9, I went to his concert.  After standing and waiting outside his bus, he finally came off, and my Mom screamed, “Bobby Jones”.  He started laughing and smiled, and talked to my Mom for 5-10 minutes…..

Goals:
