JACKSON SNELLING

Jackson had a unique childhood that presented several challenges for him and his brother, Dawson, who were both adopted by two loving parents. Unfortunately, their father passed away when they were young, leaving their mother to raise them as a single parent. Both brothers have autism - Jackson experienced sensory and behavioral challenges while Dawson struggled with severe cognitive difficulties and didn't speak until he was 7. Despite these challenges, Jackson and Dawson shared a love of music that brought them closer together and became a way for them to communicate. Jackson received his first keyboard at 13 and started performing professionally in the last four years. He's also a prolific songwriter and released a song and music video titled "Please Listen," dedicated to his late father. Jackson is passionate about giving back to the community and donates his time to various charities, including Autism Speaks, the Boys & Girls Haven and WHAS Crusade for Children.
