Born in the music capitol Nashville, TN, Habakkah Kay Foster Jackson grew up in Connecticut and before she ever sang her first note, music was instilled in her from her bloodline, her mother was an International Jazz vocalist and her father Melvin Jackson has played sax for the Legendary B.B. King for over a decade. Habakkah was bound to follow suit, her first album IZ The Bomb released under AMP Records prepared her for her next recordings all under independent labels Eternal Life, Constance, Hold On, and My Favorite Things, where she's continued to carry on the family tradition holding her own as a musician.
With the love of music in her blood, touring all over the world before hundred’s in some of the most prestigious Festivals,
Theaters' and Cathedrals throughout the globe, Habakkah has toured from Budapest, to Barcelona, from Malta to Germany, Switzerland to Slovenia, and in Italy being the first artist invited twice to perform at the Ariston Theater for the International Jubil Music Festival. Opening for Dee-Dee Bridgewater, B.B. King, Bo-Diddley, Scott Henderson, Clark Terry to name a few, and gracing the stage with some of the most renowned singer's in Italy receiving accolades as the Panther of Cremona from the Legendary Italian singer Mina known as the Tigress of Cremona.
Habakkah's profound contralto voice strong yet so smooth and crystal clear, reminds you of the likes of Sade, Shirley Horn, Etta James, Albertina Walker, Mahalia Jackson, sometimes Chaka Chan or even the Queen of Soul. With each note sung you feel every vibration from the first note and you wonder why she even has a microphone, or is it built in. Habakkah Kay Foster Jackson is asked if she plays any instruments, and her answer is always' the same "Yes Voice".
