Jackson performed his original song “Utopia” at Madison Academy’s Music Mania this year. This composition is so powerful because it evokes emotion. Someone who heard it recently described the song as “epic.” I like that word, but you could also say that the song exudes a sense of warmth as well. Either way, it’s one of my favorites and I’m grateful that Jackson had the opportunity to showcase his songwriting and his performing ability. Proud of this young man.
