Wyatt Jackson

Wyatt Jackson started performing throughout the New England region with his own hip hop "crew" in the 1980s and worked with the acclaimed Boston Youth Theater for seven seasons. He was then cast in the European tour, "Body and Soul", where he worked with Tony Award Winner, George Faison, Mercedes Ellington, and Andre Heller. Upon finishing the tour, he then landed a recording contract with "Warner Bros. Records", under the corporate direction of actor, Michael Douglas. The hip hop/R&B duo, "Here and Now", blended "positive story-telling" and hip-hop production. The chart-climbing release generated two hit songs, "Are You Ready" and "Tastin' Love Again" - the latter landing him the soundtrack to the Paramount Pictures release, "Losing Isaiah".

He went on to work with PBS Children's Programming for nine seasons (being featured on and choreographed for "Zoom" - of which he shares an Emmy Award with the crew for Best Children's TV Show , "Fetch", and "Design Squad"). Upon completing the work with PBS, seeing the need to proclaim "Peace" in the urban centers of America, he then joined forces with three local musicians (Marco A. Ennis, Deric Quest, and Edward "Edo G" Anderson) to create the hip-hop/activist multi-media group, 4Peace.

His recent entertainment credits are: "Black and Blue" - European Tour, "Heaven and the Homeboy" - George Faison, NYC, and "VH1 Divas" starring Aretha Franklin and Janet Jackson. Corporate and Government clients include: Dow Chemical Company, American Heart Association, Lotus Software, Nike, Harvard University School of Education, and Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Wyatt Jackson has now incorporated his brand of creative collaboration. "Wyatt Jackson 2.0, Inc." (WJ 2.0) is the "Open Source" wing of his work in the creativity field. Using methodologies from colleagues of his such as: Tony Buzan, Richard Florida, and Daniel H. Pink, WJ 2.0 is poised to collaborate with production houses in new and innovative ways. "Anything Is Possible" is the tagline for his company's timely approach to creativity in the private and the public sectors.
