Biography

Jackson was given the nickname 'Sanchez' due to his football skills - a reference to a footballer of that name.[1] After working with several Kingston sound systems he began recording and had his first hit with "Lady In Red", recorded for producer Red Man.[1] By 1988 he was one of Jamaica's most popular singers, and at his performance at Reggae Sunsplash that year he was called back for six encores.[1] His 2000 album Simply Being Me hit #14 on the U.S. Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart, and 2002's Stays on My Mind hit #9.[2]
