A native of Chicago, Billy Jackson has been involved with many local productions, but in 2002 branched out with international known producer Anita Kavuu. He has long been involved with the entertainment industry, appearing on Entertainment tonight in a Ninja Turtles segment at the age of 6. When Billy was twelve, he was contacted by Walt Disney in regards to his sketches, that at his age were brilliant. In 2004 he became the first African American to win The American Academy of Art Chicago Scholarship competition, but turned it down to attend the neighboring, but most famous, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is currently majoring in Film/New Media, and Art Education. He has been thankful for all of his blessings, including being a 2004 Golden Apple Scholar, and his first major feature accomplishment, "Holiness In Time", as well as giving an enormous amount of credit to his mother, Kathy Dowdell, for her patience and ability to put up with the many projects and the adventurous mind her son has. He has recently completed a British Petroleum commercial under Oscar Winning Director, Jessica Yu, and is currently working on "All of Egypt commercial" (Directing) for Professional Artists At Work, Inc. Billy Jackson now resides in Chicago as President and CEO of his own Talent Company, and lives with his mother, godmother, brother, and siamese cat Nigo.
