Career
The girl got into acting when she was only seven years old. Apart from acting, Talia also had another passion – a love for music.
When she was only eight years old, she received her first job. She performed during a couple of Christmas concerts with Andrea Bocelli and David Foster.
In 2012, she took up acting professionally. She played the role of Alexsia in the film A Green Story.
In 2013, she appeared in Disney English, an International Disney program, teaching English via short movies. The same year, she starred in the film A Snow Globe Christmas.
In 2016, she featured in Christmas All Over Again. In 2017, she starred as Dusty Gable in the comedy Raised by Wolves.
A year later, she became part of the series Station 19. In 2019, she appeared in the movie A Family Reunion Christmas and the series Family Reunion.
All that time, she did not forget about music. Here is how she commented on it in an interview with BEATROUTE:
I used to write songs when I was growing up—I never really played instruments as a kid since I had terrible ADD that never allowed me to focus on one thing long enough to grasp it, so it was quite difficult trying to write on my own. I think that’s one of the big reasons I thought I could never be a singer. I always pictured these super cool, talented girls who had these guitars in their hands, and that just wasn’t me.
In July 2019, she released her first single – I’m not Jealous. She believed in herself thanks to the Netflix series Family Reunion:
The turning point for me was when my show, Netflix’s Family Reunion, wrote an episode where my character sings, and we ended up shooting a music video for it. It gave me the courage to go forward with my songs. Last summer was the first time I actually wrote anything that got released. It was a big step for me; I was terrified.
Thanks to her mother's support, she managed to overcome her fears:
Thankfully my mother had always seen my love for music—even when it was hidden behind anxiety—so she pushed me to put that first song [“I’m Not Jealous”] out. I hated the song. I loved it when I first heard it and released it, but I’m the type of artist who gets sick of hearing my own voice. It’s not a bad song; it just isn’t the type of music I love [to] make.
Here are Talia’s most popular tracks:
- Interlude
- Piece of Me
- You
- Complicated
- 5FIVE
- 19
- Hidden
In 2020, she portrayed Jade McKellan in the series Game On! A Comedy Crossover Event. In April 2021, she joined the cast of Family Reunion, which returned to television with a new season. Here is how the actress comments on her mission in an interview with MARTECHCUBE:
My goal is to inspire and influence my Gen Z peers through the work I am passionate about, acting, singing, and philanthropy. To encourage them to follow their dreams, no matter their circumstance. Dreams do come true! I’m humbled and excited to live them out every day and make an impact on the world!
She used social media for impressing people. Nowadays, Talia Jackson's TikTok is a surprising source of inspiration for her fans and the promotion of her personality.
