L.A. Jackson - Author, Musicology 2101

Author, L.A. Jackson was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and spent his early years in New York City during the exciting advent of a new, yet undeveloped music form eventually named Hip Hop. Listening to the legendary DJ’s, and pioneering MC’s attending, house parties and roller skating events where the music was readily heard, Jackson fell in love with the genre and the music industry as a whole. He became interested in the formation of beats and sounds, the mechanics of the tools used by DJ’s and studio engineers and the production side of putting an album together. He decided that he wanted to be a part of the structure and expansion of music in all its facets...behind

the scenes.
