Interview with Stacey Jackson – A Music Making Mummy

Stacey is a 41 year old mother of four who, after the birth of her children decided to follow her passion for music and release an album.


Her first single, ‘I Hear A Symphony’, went to number 9 in the club charts sandwiched between Kylie and Lady Gaga. Stacey is also an ambassador for leading charity Music for Youth and gave talented young musicians across the country an opportunity to be on her album, proceeds from the album went to the charity and Stacey has raised over £18000. In November she will present this cheque to the charity at the Royal Albert Hall

I recently got the chance to interview her and this is what she had to say

When did your passion for music first begin?     

I have vivid memories of me sitting in my dad’s car when I was three year old singing along to Diana Ross and the Supremes. I knew all the lyrics!
What made you decide to go into the music industry?
I was always singing in bands – when I was 15, I was the lead singer an original hard rock group in Montreal called Cold Front but after university, I moved to New York and had a career in television PR for a while. I missed singing so much that I ended up joining a club called Off Wall Street jam which was a venue comprised of various rehearsal studios that catered to career people who were also talented musicians.  So I formed a Motown band called Fuzzy Dice and I was the lead singer.  With Fuzzy Dice, we got to play around at swish bars and clubs in New York.

How do you balance children and work?
