J… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least five (5) groups with the name (Jackson):
[1]
Jackson and His Computer Band is an IDM artist signed to Warp Records consisting of Jackson Fourgeaud, a 26-year-old Parisian composer. His style has been described as "a style orgy, a psychedelic celebration of conflict."
After his acid house debut on Pumpking records in 1996, Sound Of Barclay released the "Sense Juice" and "Gourmet EPs" under the name Jackson & His Computer Band. Even then, these thumping filtered house cuts sounded weirdly different to the prevailing "French Touch" style of Daft Punk and Cassius, leading to articles in NME, I-D, Jockey Slut and the like. On the back of this acclaim, Jackson was commissioned to remix an array of artists, sprinkling his fucked-up magic over Femi Kuti, Air, Vanessa Paradis, Freeform Five and Jean Jacques Perrey and Luke Vibert's forthcoming "Moog Acid". No one has yet remixed Jackson. This year he's DJed at parties in London (everywhere from The Social to Harrod's) and recently terrorised the idyllic Territoires Electroniques festival in Aix-en-Provence. Perhaps you caught his excellent DJ set on Radio 1's Breezeblock show in March. Now Jackson is working on a killer live show which will be unveiled around the time of Smash's release in September.

Jackson is the name of a little band out of San Antonio, Texas. Chad W. Eaton (Electric Guitar, Vocals), Cameron Feil (Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals), Daniel Palmer (Bass Guitar), Andrew Vespia (Electric Guitar), Robert Betts (Drums), Mills Ligon (Manager) and a variety of visiting musicians fill the Jackson lineup.
They describe their sound as "A little bit country, a little bit Rock and Roll."

Jackson O'Connell-Barlow (stage names: Iguanadon, Grape-a-Don, Nate Kukla, and Mr. Pennsylvania) makes up one half of the duo Grand Buffet along with Jarrod Weeks (stage names: M-Dog, Lord Grunge, Matt Kukla, Fred Durts). A hip-hop duo from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their music is a unique brand of humorous, often satirical rap.
[4]
There's another band called Jackson. Their 6 song self-titled debut release came out in spring of 2003. It's somewhat of an all-star punk-and-rock outfit comprised of CHRIS SHIFLETT (FOO FIGHTERS, ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES, NO USE FOR A NAME), SCOTT SHIFLETT (FACE TO FACE), and PETE PARRADA (FACE TO FACE, SAVES THE DAY). They also released a 7" record called All the Way in late 2003. The band isn't full-time as some members are obligated to other bands. Their sound has been described as Weezer meets Teen Idols. Jackson have since changed their name to Jackson United

Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I envied the girls
I wondered what it'd be like to be one
Named after a King
They didn't suspect a thing
When my Dad found out that he had raised a Queen
cnd he thought that I was fooling around
You must never tell another soul that you feel like this
I'm becoming Wendy
With my high heels on and the spotlight in my eyes
You could be my biggest fan
Yeah you're damn right I'm the man
I can't wait to be Wendy again
The times that I got hit
cnd called a piece of shit
Well fuck you at least I know who I am
Crying in my dress
My make up all a mess
Don't apologise, the problem isn't yours
But it's still a big weight to bear
cnd it's not like I even care
Ready girls, the show's about to start
I'm becoming Wendy
With my head held high and the spotlight in my eyes
You could be my biggest fan
Yeah you're damn right I'm the man
I can't wait to be Wendy again
It's not just my Dad that thinks I'm a freak
Though I'm twice the man that he'll ever be
cn ironic shame
Let's not debate if it's wrong or right
Cause I'm only real under those lights
cnd the cheers and the roars, the rounds of applause
Ladies and Gentleman please raise a glass for Wendy
Please raise a glass for Wendy
You could be my biggest fan
Yeah you're damn right I'm the man
With my feathered wings above me
Nobody can hurt me
Pleased to meet you
Hi, my names Wendy
The lyrics to Jackson's song "The Becoming" tell a powerful story of self-discovery, acceptance, and embracing one's true identity. The singer, named Charles by their parents, reveals an internal struggle with their gender identity, envying the girls and wondering what it would be like to be one.
The line "Named after a King, they didn't suspect a thing" suggests that the singer was assigned male at birth and given a traditionally masculine name. However, when the singer's father discovers their true identity as a queen, the lack of understanding and assumptions of fooling around are evident. The singer is advised never to share their true feelings with anyone.
The chorus "I'm becoming Wendy, with my high heels on and the spotlight in my eyes" represents the transformation and empowerment of the singer as they fully embrace their feminine identity. The reference to the spotlight and being a performer suggests that Wendy is not just a personal identity but also a stage persona.
The lyrics also touch on the hardships the singer faces, being hit and called derogatory names, but they assert their self-worth and refuse to apologize for who they are. The weight of societal expectations and judgments is acknowledged, but it doesn't deter the singer from embracing their true self. The phrase "Ready girls, the show's about to start" portrays a sense of confidence and determination, indicating that Wendy is ready to showcase her true self to the world.
The bridge confronts the broader societal stigma and judgment faced by the singer, with the mention of their father thinking they are a freak. The line "Though I'm twice the man that he'll ever be, an ironic shame" reveals a poignant play on words, highlighting the irony of society's perception. The singer recognizes that they are only truly themselves under the spotlight, receiving cheers and applause. They invite others to raise a glass for Wendy, signaling a celebration of their authentic self.
In the final lines, the singer expresses their confidence and introduces themselves as Wendy, inviting others to be their biggest fan. The mention of feathered wings represents a feeling of freedom and protection, suggesting that nobody can hurt them while in their true identity. The overall message is one of self-acceptance, resilience, and pride in living as Wendy.
