Jasmine Henderson.
Together, they are Renata Jackson.
Hailing from the North Carolina School of the Arts, Renata Jackson brings you a signature sound that combines elements of Urban, Hip Hop, and Rap music. Their inspirations range from old-skool hit-makers like Sean "Puffy" Combs to today's chart-toppers, such as the venerable P Diddy.
Like any great artist not related to Bob Dylan, Renata Jackson is starting small. But someday, their success will bring hope to the millions of children just like them, looking for any way out of their middle-class suburban upbringing.8.11.03--Brandon buys a new computer.

dark force at work in the media today. It is, yes, a powerful force driven by
greed, corruption and an unquenchable thirst for power. But there is another
force, indeed, a more powerful force driven by truth, justice and an unshakeable
belief in the freedom of ideas, knowledge, and creation. That force is the will
of the people! It resides in the heart of each and every one of us. We must
reject the designs of mass media and it's further consolidation of power... write
your congressman, call the FCC, go outside and scream as loud as you can: "I'm
mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" Please...this is Renata
Jackson urging you to take back the airwaves. Goodnight and God bless."
