Organist and pianist Sean Jackson began his musical studies at the age of five and by the age of eleven had won his first gold medal in his country’s National Independence Festival of Creative Arts. In recognition of his outstanding contribution he was subsequently awarded the National Youth Award from the Barbados Government, and went on to receive numerous prizes and awards both at the undergraduate and graduate level including the Parratt, Walford Davies, and Geoffrey Tankard organ prizes, the Douglas Whittaker Chamber Music Prize all from the Royal College of Music; the A.H. Kuhn Memorial Scholarship, the 1999 William Schumann Prize, and the C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellowship from the Juilliard School. In 2004 Jackson graduated from The Juilliard School, New York, where he received both his Master of Music and Doctorate degrees.
In October, 2000, while still a student at the Juilliard school, Jackson won an organ competition which entitled him to perform Stephen Paulus’s Organ Concerto with the Juilliard Symphony at the Alice Tully Hall and was featured again with the Juilliard Symphony at the Lincoln Center in November 2003 with a performance of the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony. He has performed as guest organist with the New York Youth Symphony in Carnegie Hall, was a featured artist in the International Concert Series at Trinity, Wall Street, and performed a solo concert at The Washington National Cathedral, 2006.
Other highlights of his performance career include a performance before the Commonwealth conference of Ministers of Education, a debut performance at the Kimmel Center, Philadelphia, and a performance at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music with violinist Stephen Clapp. He has served on the boards of both the New York City and Fairfield West Chapters of the American Guild of Organists, the latter for which he continues to oversee their online communications. Since 2012 he has been presenting concerts, workshops and masterclasses in Taipei, Taiwan as a featured guest of the Taipei Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. His most recent visit was in May 2019.
Jackson is featured in a number of recordings including his debut CD, Sean Jackson Plays Organ Favorites: Volume I, a second solo CD Organ Favorites: Volume 2, The Way, an album of vocal arias, spirituals and classics with soprano Meghan Joynt, as well as It Is Well With My Soul, a CD of spirituals and short violin works with Dean Emeritus of the Juilliard School, violinist Stephen Clapp, and soprano Amy Clapp Dye. In 2019 Jackson completed a three year project featuring weekly YouTube recordings of reharmonized hymns to correspond with each week in the church liturgical calendar year. The positive response to this venture inspired the creation of “Reharmonize”, an online hymn playing course for church organists. He is currently Director of Music and Organist at North Stamford Community Church as well as Artist-In- Residence at the Resurrection Anglican Congregation in Brooklyn and he lives in Stamford, Connecticut with his wife Sally.

Jackson從五歳就開始學習音樂, 11 歲時在該國的全國創意藝術獨立節上獲得了他的第一枚金牌。
為了表彰他的傑出貢獻, 他隨後獲得了巴巴多斯政府頒發的國家青年獎, 並在倫敦皇家音樂學院時 獲得了無數獎項, 包括 Parratt, Walford Davies 和 Geoffrey Tankard 管風琴獎, Douglas Whittaker Chamber Music獎； 在紐約茱莉亞音樂學院時獲得了A.H. Kuhn紀念獎學金, 1999 年William Schumann獎和 C.V. Starr茱莉亞音樂學院博士獎學金。
1992 年Jackson離開了家郷, 到倫敦皇家音樂學院學習取得學士的學位; 接著於2004 年於美國紐約茱莉亞音樂學院完成碩士和博士學位。 在茱莉亞音樂學院求學期間, Jackson 獲得校內管風琴比賽的冠軍, 這也讓他擁有與茱莉亞交響樂團同台演出的資格, 曲目為 Stephen Paulus的管風琴協奏曲; 接著2003年11月, 於紐約林肯中心與樂團一同演出聖桑的管風琴交響曲; 2006 年, 他擔任紐約靑年交響樂團的特別嘉賓在卡內基音樂廳演出; 也曾在華盛頓國家大教堂舉辦個人獨奏音樂會, 演出經驗不計其數。

Jackson對管風琴的精湛技藝而聞名, 但他也在皇家音樂學院和茱莉亞音樂學院都對鋼琴進行了深入的學習。在皇家音樂學院時, 他與著名的鋼琴家Peter Katin一起學習了四年鋼琴, 當Jackson沒有選擇鋼琴作為他的第一門主修時, Katin感到非常失望。在茱莉亞音樂學院時, 他在貝多芬作品的重要傳人Jacob Lateiner的指導下繼續學習了兩年的鋼琴。
