Artist Highlight: JACKPAL


At just 21 years old, JACKPAL is making waves in the industry with his unique sound and captivating lyrics. Hailing from Charleston, South Carolina, his path to success hasn't been easy, but it has shaped him into the artist he is today. After a difficult breakup, JACKPAL decided to make a bold move by saving up money and relocating to Los Angeles to pursue his musical dreams.


Growing up in the South, he faced the challenges of pursuing a less conventional path, which often led to sideways glances from those around him. This lack of acceptance resulted in him having few friends. In middle school, he endured bullying, an experience that proved to be a turning point. During an incident where his belongings were scattered, a classmate discovered his notes and poems and recognized his talent. This unexpected encounter led to a friendship that ignited JACKPAL's passion for music.

Throughout high school, JACKPAL faced continued ridicule, which further isolated him. However, this isolation became the catalyst for his deep dive into his artistry. Music became his solace; the only entity that made him feel connected and provided a source of solace during challenging times.


Realizing the seriousness of his career ambitions, JACKPAL decided to prioritize his craft. During his sophomore year, he made the commitment to focus solely on perfecting his music, often skipping classes to dedicate himself entirely to his art. This dedication paid off, as he continuously honed his skills and discovered his unique voice.


The COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected blessings for JACKPAL. With limited distractions, he utilized this time to write and record music, fully immersing himself in the creative process. The solitude and concentration on his craft became a transformative period for him, shaping his sound and allowing him to explore his abilities to the fullest.


JACKPAL's first release, "I Wanna Make You Mine”, reflects his desire to bring joy and positivity to listeners. In a world filled with negativity, he wanted to create a song that could serve as a temporary escape—a track that encourages people to let go, dance, and have a good time.


The journey doesn't end there for him; with a ton of new music on the horizon, including his second release, "Woman in the Walls", and an upcoming song on June 2nd, fans surely can expect an EP in the near future. JACKPAL's commitment to his craft and passion for music shine through his work, and he serves as an inspiration for aspiring artists.


Now in the place to be able to look back on his journey, JACKPAL advises new artists to take their time and refine their skills before releasing their first song. His personal experience emphasizes the importance of honing one's craft and discovering one's unique identity as a musician. JACKPAL's story is proof that dedication, resilience, and self-belief can propel an artist forward, no matter the challenges they face along the way.
