Trevor Jackson

Most importantly, I don't do music for people to want to be a singer, actor, or dancer. I do it because I love it and I want to show others you can accomplish goals.

I think purpose is the most important thing because once you understand that, everything else becomes easy.

You gotta be great - you have one life.

That's what you have to learn with life. It's your life at the end of the day. There's really no right or wrong way to do things. Everybody has a way they think you should do it. So why not do it your way, you know what I mean, respectfully.

I'm that type of person that if I feel like I'm doing the same thing in life, then I'm stuck. Always gotta be moving and doing something different.

I want to influence the younger generation to know that we have the ability to make a change and bring us all together. Black Lives Matter.

Through my work, I've learned that if I love it, whether it's music, acting or any type of entertainment, I can overcome any of the obstacles that come my way.

I can't be around someone who is negative because I am such a positive person. If you are mean, then we don't speak.

I know everything that I do is going to be more powerful and touch more people in a positive way than if I go out there and cause havoc.

I don't come from any type of entertainment. I come from a basketball family. My dad still says, 'Trevor, are you sure don't want to play basketball? You can play in college and go to the NBA!' But I did play.

I've been trying to sing for a long time. I didn't realize that's what I wanted to do until I was about seven or eight. I tap danced since I was three years old, and that's all I did.

Whatever I'm doing at that moment, I try to only focus on that because I'm already ADD.
