She took piano lessons beginning in the first grade, and when she was 8 years old, her piano teacher had would always have her go first at recitals. [3]

In 2005, when she was 13 years old, Jackson and her family moved from Los Osos, California to Santa Margarita, California, where her parents opened a restaurant with her brother as the head chef. She lived in a house without air-conditioning and was forbidden by her parents, whom Jackson has called "overprotective", from using the Internet or watching television. [1] [4] [5] [2] Jackson then focused on her parents' country music collection for entertainment. [2] As a teenager, she was so shy that she ate school lunch alone in the girls’ bathroom. [6]

When she was 13 years old, she attended her first concert by herself, a performance by Social Distortion in San Luis Obispo; Christine Ness, the wife of lead singer Mike Ness, had been friends with Jackson's mother since high school. The concert inspired her to begin songwriting and, by the time she finished high school, she had written 370 songs. [6] [4] Her early songs had themes of murder or suicide. [6] She would play on street corners and in alleyways. Her dad got her her first performance gig at a coffee shop across the street from the family's restaurant, and every Sunday, after church, her family would go to the coffee shop, where Jackson would play the songs she wrote that week. [7] She then also began performing at wineries up U.S. Route 101 in Paso Robles, California. [3]

While a freshman at the California Institute of the Arts, Jackson broke her back in a 15-foot fall from a rope swing at Sand Canyon. She was allergic to the medication and developed seizures, leading to an addiction to painkillers as well as depression with thoughts of suicide, and eating disorders. [4] [3] [8] The physical recovery was 18 months but the mental recovery took much longer and required therapy. [2]

Christine Ness heard Jackson perform a rough set as a demo in friend’s basement and immediately forwarded a recording to her husband, Mike Ness. After hearing her performances, Mike Ness produced her first album, Gilded in 2017, which was released on Anti-. [9] That year, she was the opening act for Social Distortion concerts. [10]
