He was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. He started playing piano and guitar at age five. His earliest influences were Les Paul and Mary Ford, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Moody Blues, and Led Zeppelin.In 1973, he joined Shepards Bush as lead guitarist. It was here that he met Felix Hanemann. Hanemann worked at Jazz City Studios in New Orleans owned by Cosimo Matassa. Shepards Bush recorded a demo at the studio which was Jackson’s first experience in a recording studio. Jackson and Hanemann left Shepards Bush a year later. They soon met drummer Guy Gelso and formed “Zebra” in 1975. It was at this point that Jackson started singing lead vocals. After playing the New Orleans area for two years, Zebra moved to New York (Long Island) in 1977 and in 1982 signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records.Their first album, Zebra produced by Jack Douglas, went gold and was the fastest selling debut album in the history of Atlantic Records. During the next couple of years Zebra played opener for Aerosmith, Journey, ZZ Top, Loverboy, Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar and REO Speedwagon.The group has produced five albums and five videos with combined sales of over 2,000,000.In addition to working with Zebra, Jackson performs lead vocals for The Music of Led Zeppelin, The Music of Pink Floyd and The Music of The Doors; tributes to the eponymous bands as backed by an orchestra. He also frequently plays live acoustic shows across the country. In 1989, Jackson got a call from drummer Kenny Aronoff to join him and tour playing guitar and keyboards with the original “Jefferson Airplane” (Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady) on their U.S. reunion tour.Randy Jackson’s China Rain, a project that featured songs co-written with Mark Slaughter and Jack Ponti was released in 1993 in the US, Europe and Japan.In 1992, Jackson started performing “Solo” live with the use of a MacIntosh SE 30 computer he programmed to perform the Drums, Bass and Keyboards and called it "The Midi Show". He also programmed the computer to run the Sound Mix and Lights during the show! He toured all over the South and the Northeast U.S. with the show.From 1992 to 1996, Jackson was involved with Lonestar Technologies (Long Island) in the hardware and software development of an Interactive Multimedia Musical Instrument called “The Key” which allows anyone to play music instantly. Jon Anderson of “Yes” used “The Key” to perform live and wrote many songs with the instrument during that time.Jackson completed work on Zebra IV which was released on July 8, 2003. He produced and engineered the entire album.The Sign were formed by Mark Mangold (Drive), Randy Jackson (Zebra), Terry Brock (Strangeways), Billy Greer (Kansas) and Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow & Black Sabbath).
