Life

Personal

Taj Jackson was born the oldest of three children. His parents are Tariano Adaryll "Tito" Jackson and Delores "Dee Dee" Martes Jackson (✝1994), so he has African American roots on his father's side and Dominican roots on his mother's side. He has two younger brothers, Taryll and TJ Jackson, and is a nephew of Michael and Janet Jackson .

As the son of Tito Jackson, Taj grew up privileged, but also under observation by the American public. His mother made sure that he and his brothers had a relatively normal childhood, with birthday parties, baseball, family outings, etc. However, family happiness came to an abrupt end in 1994 when Delores Martes Jackson was only 39 years old in her then swimming pool Significant partner, Donald Bohana, drowned. Taj was 21 years old at the time.

The investigators - unlike the family - assumed a tragic accident and initially acquitted Delores Martes Jackson's partner. However, the sons were able to have the proceedings resumed. In this, the public prosecutor and the court followed their argument; for example, in 1998 Donald Bohana was sentenced to 15 years in prison for conditional murder.

Taj Jackson is engaged to the Brazilian Thayana Sco (* 1984) from T-Rio. The two have no children (yet).

Taj Jackson always had a very good relationship with his uncle Michael Jackson. He was like a third parent to him. Taj Jackson also expressed his closeness to his uncle in the program for Michael Jackson's funeral service: “Uncle Michael, I can't even begin to express how important you were in my life. You will ALWAYS be a big part of who I am now and who I will be in the future. I love you, Applehead ”.

Career

Even as young children, Taj Jackson and his brothers appeared on television and on stage with their famous father, uncles and aunts. They began to imitate the Jackson 5 at an early age , learning to play instruments and write songs themselves. In 1985 - TJ was 7, Taryll 10 and Taj 12 - they were offered a recording deal. They refused because they wanted to enjoy their childhood first and finish school.

In 1994 they formed the band 3T and have so far released two albums, Brotherhood (1995) and Identity (2004). A third album could not be released due to disputes with the record company.

In addition to music, Taj Jackson also developed a passion for graphic design, multimedia, the Internet, film and directing. Taj co-directed 3T's music video "Gotta Be You" and was also the creative head behind the creation of the Brotherhood tour book. Taj Jackson shared his enthusiasm for directing films with his uncle Michael Jackson. After his death in 2009, Taj decided to shoot a zombie series called Code Z with T-Rio's triplets (Thayana, Thaisa and Thaina Sco). He dedicated this series to Michael Jackson. In 2010 Taj and T-Rio got together for a science fiction project called Clone 3 .

Since 2012 Taj Jackson and his brothers have been working on a new music album as 3T.
