Chisai Jackson: Biography
Toronto based singer/songwriter Chisai Jackson has captured audiences both in his hometown and internationally. A critically acclaimed artist who has sold over 5500 CDs independently, Chisai’s modern songwriting style maintains a classic element that keeps audiences engaged and intrigued to hear more. In 2004, Chisai released his full-length solo debut A Few Bucks Short of Taking Over. Produced by legendary Can-rock and Juno award winning producer Tim Thorney (Alanis Morrisette, Jimmy Rankin), A Few Bucks… immediately began to garner rave reviews and sell out in music retailers. Even more attention has been directed to the album as two of its tracks A Fine Time and Novocaine were featured exclusively on CTV’s hit TV program Degrassi the Next Generation.
To follow up on the success of A Few Bucks… Chisai released Intermission (Summer 2006); a stripped down acoustic recording of four new songs to give his fans a more intimate listen. Intermission provides the listener with a beautiful collection of simply produced songs that showcase both Chisai’s natural songwriting abilities and signature vocals.
Chisai is currently recording a new record. The new record, currently titled 77 will include songs that he has already previewed to enthusiastic live audiences including, Clockwatching, When My Ship Goes Down, Just What It Is,and the brand new song Sway etc.
