Edit history

Earnest Jackson is a Sydney-based rapper, singer and performer blending cheek, groove and swagger into genre-bending alternative hip hop. Born in Melbourne and raised on rock before falling hard for hip hop’s bravado and lyricism, Earnest channels influences like Tyler, the Creator, Goldlink, Spike Jonze, Mac Miller, and André 3000-level cheek. His debut EP EARNEST, FOREVER is a confident, funky blend of lust-at-first-sight bangers, breakup tracks with bite, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Tobias Priddle and featuring sax from Lochie Thompson on lead single “THREEFOUR,” the EP is a bold statement of intent: sexy, spunky, self-aware, and impossible to ignore.
