Craig Jackson
Stage name: Craig (from Voicemail)
Real name: Craig Jerome Neil Jackson
Birth month: October 15
How did you get started in the business?
My brother carried me to the point where I could try the music ting and I decided to give it a try
What has been your greatest challenge in the business yet?
Losing O'Neil cause it's hard to regroup and continue on this journey without him.
What have you been up to lately?
I've been busy rehearsing for a one-month tour in Europe. Working on new singles and settling on a date for the new album release, Next Level.
Do you look up to any specific artiste and why?
Bounty Killa. He has been in the business for many years and has established himself not only as an artiste but an individual who supports young and upcoming artistes. I am happy he was honoured at Reggae Sumfest.
Are you happy with the way things are going for your musical career right now?
Very happy, not everything is smooth but you have to go through some rough patches.
Do you have any advice for young artistes coming up?
You have to realise the importance of education, especially with the business of music. Don't come in just for the hype, think about your fans and not just the money.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
Being very successful - hoping to accomplish all the things I set out to do - and that Voicemail will be one of the greatest dancehall groups ever.
