Jess Reed Jackson (born 15 July 1980) is an English record producer, songwriter, and disc jockey from

In addition to establishing his own production companies, Jess Jackson Productions and JSKN Music, Jackson secured a publishing deal with Last Kings Entertainment through fellow rapper Tyga —with whom he has worked closely. He is one half of the production duo, Active Minds with DJ Redz. Jackson has produced for artists such as Chris Brown, The Wanted, Pop Smoke, Esty, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Busta Rhymes, and more.[1]
Early life
Jess Reed was born on 15 July 1980 in
Hammersmith, London to David Reed and Lis Parrish. In the 1970s, David managed a book store called Equinox Bookshop, that was owned by Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page.[2]
Career
In 1994, Jess acquired his step father's last name "Jackson" and started producing music in his bedroom, with his neighbour
ADT College, a guy named AC Burrell, who signed to Pure Milk as well. In 2003, Pure Milk Records closed down due to poor management.[4] Months later, Jackson started songwriting when Pete Townshend lead guitarist of The Who signed Jackson to his publishing company Eel Pie Publishing
as a record producer.
In 2004, Jackson joined Firin Squad productions as a remixer and record producer. He worked on remixes for
40 Mill" with Kanye West, Mike Dean, and Dupri. The track is supposed to appear on The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty.[7] Jackson co-produced rapper Pop Smoke's hit single, "For the Night", released in July 2020.[8]
