Lucky Jackson was born in Adelaide South Australia on May 4 1961. With an all encompassing passion for music inspired by such artists as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Monkees, The Osmonds, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, The Rolling stones, Roy Orbison, The Everly brothers and a plethora of other artists of the 50s and 60s Lucky Jackson decided on his lifes goal.

During this fruitful and prolific period he was tasked to writing a song a week. From this two albums followed. LONELY ROAD AHEAD (2005) and SUBLIMINAL POET (2007). Obviously, these were demo quality albums. Although full of flaws, they served the purpose of learning his songwriting craft and the equipment for the recording process.
After Lucky Jackson moved house to the outer Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth Graham and Steve soon decided it was too far to travel for recording and only 2 or 3 tracks were recorded there before they parted ways. Once again on his own, writing songs was a sporadic activity. Uninspired during this period, in 2012 his niece Katie died in her sleep and the inspiration came back and he wrote the song NEVER SAID GOODBYE. Deciding to record th
