Trevor Jackson

Trevor Jackson most recently starred opposite Yara Shahidi on Kenya Barris’s No. 1 hit show “grown-ish” for Hulu/ Freeform. He starred as the lead of the Sony feature “Superfly” from Director X. Jackson garnered critical acclaim for the Netflix original feature film “Burning Sands” from director Gerard McMurray, which premiered at Sundance 2017. Previously, he was in the 2016 season of John Ridley’s Emmy® Award-nominated series “American Crime” opposite Regina King. In February, he starred in the Broadway musical “The Tap Dance Kid.” Jackson started acting, singing and dancing professionally at a young age when he started touring with Broadway’s “The Lion King” starring as Young Simba.

As a recording artist, Jackson has released multiple acclaimed projects that highlight his versatility as a singer, songwriter and producer. His 2021 album, “The Love Language” —which featured fan favorites “Just Friends,” “Get to You” and “Love Don’t Change” — cemented his place in contemporary R&B. He’s followed that with a series of genre-bending releases that blend soulful vocals, introspective storytelling and sleek production, including his 2023 single, “Ride the Wave,” and his forthcoming multiproject rollout, “I Love You,” and a full-length album arriving in 2025.

With a career that bridges music, television and film, Jackson continues to captivate audiences with his authenticity, charisma and creative range — establishing himself as one of today’s most dynamic multihyphenate talents.
