Jackson is a visionary artist who always develops himself and continues to move where he can continue to create and innovate without being burdened about what he believes in.

Love to listen to him talking about himself the most. The way he gave an interview in his car, bare face, in his usual plain black tee and beanie says a lot. Jackson is so organic 🖤 #JacksonWang #MAGICMAN2

Thanks Russell for this insightful interview. The questions posed to Jackson are pretty standard stuff, nothing that I’m not already aware of, but my main takeaway from this is that Jackson has grown more articulate. He projects true confidence in its most sincere and authentic form 👏 happy to witness growth in him ❤

Nice to see Jackson in a cool beanie hat and a fun interview. Talking about the figure of Jackson Wang, we can learn a lot from him, apart from being a great artist with contemporary work, he is also a talented young entrepreneur whose far-sighted thinking, with all his life experiences which are full of challenges, has made Jackson an amazing figure, tough and always learning. the things he likes and is passionate about outside of music, Jackson also always motivates many people, especially the younger generation, to continue to develop their talents, achieve their dreams while they are still young, never regret. It's never too late to dream, because everyone's efforts and results are different. Amazing Jackson!❤
