Born and raised in Brazil, Jackson began his ballet training at the age of sixteen.
In 2015, he was accepted into the training program at The Joffrey Academy of Dance in Chicago, where he refined his technique and had the opportunity to perform with The Joffrey Ballet Company.

He later joined New Jersey Ballet, where he not only performed but also choreographed his first ballet. During his time in New Jersey, he contributed to the production of a commercial that went on to win a New York State Emmy.

Since then, Jackson’s choreography has been featured in fashion and runway shows throughout Chicago. As a guest artist, he has performed with Chicago Repertory Ballet and Visceral Dance Chicago. His additional collaborations include the annual Dance Divas benefit supporting the health and wellness of the local dance community, as well as projects with C5 Productions, a company that has produced work for major brands such as Kraft Heinz.
