Jackson has danced for several artists including Missy Elliott and Usher, and was an assistant choreographer to award-winning choreographer Michael Rooney. Jackson later worked as an assistant choreographer to Laurieann Gibson, choreographing and dancing for Lady Gaga as well as for artists including Keri Hilson, Brandy, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Sean "Puffy" Combs. In November 2011, Lady Gaga ended her professional relationship with Gibson and appointed Jackson as her choreographer and visual director.
