Randy Jackson is an American rock musician from New Orleans, Louisiana, best known for his role as frontman for the band Zebra.

Jackson founded Zebra with bass player Felix Hanemann and drummer Guy Gelso in 1975. Randy has cited his primary influences as Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Rush, and Yes, influences which are reflected in both his vocal and guitar styles. In addition to working with Zebra, Randy performs lead vocals for The Music of Led Zeppelin, The Music of Pink Floyd, and The Music of The Doors: tributes to the eponymous bands as backed by an orchestra. He also frequently plays live acoustic shows across the country.
