History

The Jackie Boyz were born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, ^[1] where they began their music careers at the pier on River Street performing in their hometown. Their name comes from their mother Jackie, hence the name. Their father died in 2003, and their mother in 2004, spurring the boys to pursue a music career.

In 2011, the duo won their first Grammy at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards for their contribution to the David Guetta One Love Club Mix of Madonna's “Revolver”. ^{[1] [2]}

In 2018 Steven Battey ^[3] wrote and co-produced Luke Combs "One Number Away". The song was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA), ^[4] and has sold 5,000,000 copies in the US as of August 2023. ^[5]
