Jackson has worked with Mariah Carrey, Doechii, Ariana Grande, Kylie Minogue, and Rihanna.<\/p>\n
“I was really lucky with the era I grew up in – it was inspiring. I didn’t have a phone so when the music channel was on, I was glued to the TV.”<\/p>\n
He said he got to where he is today by taking “baby steps” after graduating from a professional dance college in London.<\/p>\n
“I started dancing quite late,” he explained. “I started at 12, most people start at six.<\/p>\n
But he added: “I don’t think it’s ever too late to start anything.”<\/p>\n
“In my third year, there was an audition for Rihanna at the Brit Awards. I didn’t think I’d get it. <\/p>\n
“I stood queued up in a line around the block, like an X-factor audition.”<\/p>\n
Later that night, he got the call – he was in the show.<\/p>\n
He subsequently moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dancing and choreographer career in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
“If I want to make these connections, I have to be at the parties, with the right people,” he told himself.<\/p>\n
Six years on, and now back in the UK, he says he would still “love to work with Beyonc\u00e9”.<\/p>\n
But he is never likely to be short of stories about his life in La La land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jackson has worked with Mariah Carrey, Doechii, Ariana Grande, Kylie Minogue, and Rihanna. “I was really lucky with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-602657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
