Jaafar Jackson is an American singer, songwriter, and actor, and he's part of the famous Jackson family — he’s the son of Jermaine Jackson (a member of The Jackson 5) and the nephew of Michael Jackson.

When he was cast to play Michael Jackson in the biopic "Michael," directed by Antoine Fuqua, Jaafar’s strong resemblance to his uncle and his background in music and performance drew attention.

Jaafar has also released his own music — his debut single “Got Me Singing” came out in 2019 and showed off a blend of R&B, pop, and Latin influences.
