The lead singer of a rock band, Self Portraits, Jackie Foster, got immense recognition after appearing in the 14th season of the NBC’s singing competition, The Voice. With her incredible performance, she convinced two of the judges, Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson, to turn their chairs during the blind audition. More recently, Jackie has secured a spot at top 11 in the singing competition.
Early Life
Jackie Foster, originally from San Diego, California, was born on November 14, 1996. She grew up in a musical family, listening to her siblings sing while her dad played the guitar. The household was a significant factor for Jackie to pursue her career in music.
She started singing at a tender age of 6 and subsequently joined a musical theater. Her first role in the theater was in a musical fantasy, The Wizard Oz, as a munchkin. She is a high school graduate of Poway High School. While in high school, she was exposed to Berklee College of Music during a summer program and had dreamt of pursuing her further education at the college.
However, she could not afford the tuition fees due to her financial constraints. Luckily, she received a four-year full scholarship at Berklee College, where she studied varieties of genres but ended up loving rock music. As of now, she is a senior at Berklee.
