Today we feature the debut single from an artist who is another of the swelling numbers of country artist who call the Pacific Coast home. Born and raised in Corvallis, OR, his brother is also a recording artist, giving this artist his first exposure to the music industry ~~~ selling tour merchandise.

Jackson Michelson got his first break in the music business came because he knew somebody ~~~ his older brother. When Jackson's older sibling, a Christian artist, signed a record deal, the youngster was given the opportunity to hit the road

and sell merchandise at concerts, a job that further stoked the musical fire that was building inside him. He had already begun playing in bands back home, and also started writing his own music, and all of that had been driven by growing up in a diverse musical household. Jackson was influenced by his mom's favorite country songs, while the booming vocals in his dad's soul music definitely stuck with young Michelson, apparent in his hybrid style today.

Michelson quickly learned that the world of country music is quite different from growing up in the "seed capital of the world", Corvallis, OR. But he wasn't persuaded in the least, heading to Nashville and bearing down to write music that music that reflects his experiences, but keep it good natured and full of energy. Michelson's next break came when Sirius/XM began playing his debut single "The Good Life", which led to opportunities to open for established Nashville acts like Lee Brice and Blake Shelton, resulting in Curb Records signing the him to a record deal in 2016.
