Jackson has worked as an audio engineer for some of the industry’s most influential producers, including Grammy Award-winning talents such as Om’Mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Kanye West, John Legend, Jay-Z), Adrian Bushby (Muse, Foo Fighters, U2), and Catherine Marks (boygenius, Wolf Alice, The Amazons); Grammy-nominated producer Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco); and ARIA Award-winning producer Scott Horscroft (The Presets, Silverchair, DMA’s).
Jackson studied Composition for Film at University, during which time he interned at the Grove Studios under Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, DMA’S, Dune Rats, Birds of Tokyo, 360), and Jackson Barclay (Vera Blue, Maddy Jane, Birds of Tokyo). It was here that Jackson had his first assistant engineering role on The Amity Affliction’s ‘Not Without My Ghosts’ LP under engineer Jack Nigro.
In 2023, Jackson lived in Los Angeles where he worked extensively under Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, Dua Lipa, Sia, Alicia Keys, Train). This work included sessions with Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES), Anthony Rossomando, Sasami, Nate Campany, Iration, David Marinelli, Sam Hollander, K.Flay, Slowly Slowly, and many more.
During this time Jackson also engineered for FIDLAR, Ilsey Juber (Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Lil Nas X, Harry Styles), MARLENE (Pure Shores), JaeGreen (Justin Bieber, DaBaby, The Chainsmokers) and Rival Sons.
Jackson was selected by APRA AMCOS to undertake a Dolby Atmos Masterclass at Lemontree Studios in LA. The program - run by Ed Donnelly (Willie Nelson, Crowded House, Smashing Pumpkins) - equipped Jackson with the skills to work with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio.
In 2024, Jackson began working as in-house engineer and producer at The Grove Studios on the NSW Central Coast. Here his engineering skills have been expanded through working with the studio’s 56-channel SSL-G console and extensive outboard gear.
He continues to work closely under studio-owner and Aria-award winning producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, DMA’S, Dune Rats, Birds of Tokyo, 360) in addition to the continuation of his work as a producer and songwriter.
