Bio:
………..Luther “Squeak” Jackson, a
multi-talented Detroit
native whose destiny to entertain has been undeniable since he
started singing at the tender age of two. Born with only one ear,
“Squeak” overcame several arduous surgeries, childhood taunts and
the solitude of being an only child with an unfailing determination
to embrace his uniqueness. So despite what some might hastily
consider a handicap, “Squeaks’” family soon discovered that he could
play any instrument handed to him. While drums, keyboards, guitar or
saxophone alone would delight the average dreamer, “Squeak” mastered
them and some. He demonstrated an intrinsic talent to produce and by
age 8 he had fashioned his own method of multi-track recording,
simply by using two tape recorders! By the age of 10, “Squeak” had
a**embled his first of many singing groups.
Today, ingenuity in modern recording technology makes “Squeak”
capable of being a one-man production team. And after the music’s
down, “Squeak” pours out a soulful 5 octave range, reminiscent of
Sam Cooke and David Ruffin, with the contemporary spice of Joe. He
describes himself as a “crooner” and his forthcoming “Good Love” and
“Somethin’ Special” are tunes sure to convey and arouse the most
genuine, heartfelt pa**ion.
“Squeak” underwent one last ear construction operation at 18,
encouraged that it would enhance commercial appeal while he
performed with the group “7Mile” (Crave Records/Sony/Epic). The
group toured with Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, Mary J Blige and Brian
McKnight. Since then, “Squeak” chose to discontinue cosmetic surgery
and forego eardrum implantation, accepting himself as God made him,
and exuding a humble confidence that others should do the same. He
has been actively writing, producing and performing studio work for
several artists including K-Ci & Jo-Jo, PAJAM Productions, Bad Boy
Entertainment, Jennifer Lopez and he has toured with two stage
plays.
“Squeak” is co-founder of 2LLENNIUM ENTERTAINMENT GROUP and blazes
the trail for an exceptional talent roster. While he vocalized much
as a baby, so much of his family affectionately dubbed him
“Squeaky”, he’s evolved into a phenomenal producer / composer /
vocalist, inspiring old-school reunion and the return to true
musicianship with tracks like “Groove”, amazingly a great dance and
easy listening tune, and hearers will echo, “I don’t want this to
end, let’s do it again.” |
