I am jakson.

jakson is a musical project by me, jakson.

Yet, as different as we are, we are also very similar.

Writing music to get through the day

Writing music to get through the day

Have you ever felt out of place? Have you ever felt out of space or just as another person walking the streets wearing a mask?
