  “A million people will like my music and a million won’t. Hopefully, some of the millions that like it, are decision makers.”

With ATR’s deep roots in music derive from his dad and uncles (Brotherly Love) who graced the 1972 Billboard charts with their #16 hit record “Momma’s Little Baby Love Lovin.” ATR’smusic has a multi-regional feel by being born in Oklahoma City, growing up in Los Angeles, spending time in Brooklyn, New York absorbing the hip-hop culture and living in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The competition of trying to surpass my family’s Billboard Charting mark of #16 continues to drive me as an artist. The legacy of the “Jackson” name itself makes ATR want to thrive and bring it back to international prominence.

Who is ATR, really?

In the early part of his career, James “Popeye” Greer; who managed Mint Condition’s first two gold albums, guided him on the right path with mentorship. ATR has performed internationally in Cancun, Mexico at the Baja Club, along with his last performance in Queens, New York at a Power 105.1 “Artist Showcase.” Also, he appeared on MTV Overdrive when he opened up for MTV Overdrive’s host Krishnar at Universal City’s BB Kings.

Although ATR’s passion is music, he enjoys giving back to the community by working with at-risk youth. He has become “custodial guardian, ” so this African-American teen-ager could finish his education and not move back into a gang-infested area on the west side of Chicago. ATR started an educational program titled R.E.A.L (Reaching Every Academic Level) which is for students who struggle academically or socially. This entertainer has had the opportunity to captivate many teenage audiences with performances across the Twin Cities of Minnesota, with his ties to education and inspiring youth. ATR symbolizes what a person who comes from “the struggle” can do if they persevere in life.

ATR’s music is making its way across the world wide web including the singles, “I Know Better” and “Close.” Currently, it is in rotation on various platforms like; Dj Nothin Nice radio and Dj Show’s Plan-A- radio based in Los Angeles, CA.  The “Drinks In The Air” video has appeared on TheCool TV 30 times.
