Pop star JacksonWang852 opens up about his biggest fears, his dreams, and his determination to forge a legacy of greatness – or die trying.
“You can’t have everything in life. You can’t have everybody just love you, like you – there are people who are going to hate, and I still feel appreciated and blessed. Even though I have the hate, you know? So, I just want to be real to myself, [tell myself] that it’s okay.
It’s definitely paying off because every time I share your music videos with people, everyone has pointed out what a good storyteller you are and it’s exactly what you said – it’s not about a couple of shots of someone just dancing or lip syncing along to the music. There’s a universe in all of your music videos. Tell me a bit about your process of coming up with the stories that you want to explore.
I am someone who can’t stop fiddling. Like even when I write an article, I know when I write this piece, I’m going to like go back 100 times and tweak it and make sure that it’s as perfect as it can be, as good as I can make it. Do you have a similar experience when it comes to finishing an album? How do you know when it’s done?So I think a lot of it has to do with like… it’s a feeling, you know? Once you have that feeling, it’s right.
Two songs of yours are super important to me personally – “Alone” and “Jackson Wang.” In both of them you outlined your journey and your path as an artist, but with different perspectives. “Alone” was further back and more harrowing while “Jackson Wang” almost exactly a year later is more heartwarming. How does your path ahead look today? You never know what lies ahead, so I think what we can do is just try to be the best version of ourselves and keep chasing the dream.
