Actor. Singer. Model

Hey. Hey. Hey! My name is Kennedy Jackson and I am a fourth-year at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. School of Drama. 

I was born in Long Island, New York, and raised in rural South Carolina. I was fortunate to be immersed in a culture rich in history, love for community, and delicious Southern soul food. However, despite the prominence of a sports culture in South Carolina, I always had a deep love for the arts. 

Thankfully, living close to the entertainment-rich area of Augusta, Georgia I was able to experience my first role at the age of nine in the Augusta Player's production of Hairspray. The theater bug bit me & from that moment on, I began pursuing my dreams of singing & acting. My talent has led me to amazing artistic intensive programs such as South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts & Humanities, National YoungArts Organization, and UNCSA. 

In my free time, I love playing Sims 4, makeup, making music, watching movies and TV shows, swimming, going on walks, and spending time with my family and dog. Simply living my unique life!
