Real name Andre Vann, Gepetto Jackson is an American artist from Florida. He made a name for himself with a debut album entitled Surviving Andre, released in 2004 and followed by DNA Doesn't Matter (2016) and Secret Son, Part 2 (2019), evoking a supposed kinship with the Jackson family and claiming to be the son of Jermaine Jackson and nephew of Michael Jackson. The subject persists through other tracks in the R&B style he favors. His production intensified in 2024, with the release of the album Spill the Tea, followed by For the Ladies (2025), Jermainish (2025), Happy Birthday MJ (2025), TropDavinci & Papzoe Management Presents: R&B vs Hip Hop, Vol. 1 (2025), as well as numerous singles. In 2025, the title track "MJ Biopic (Jaafar Jackson)" aroused interest and eventually established Gepetto Jackson in the UK charts, reaching 46th place in singles sales and 39th in downloads.
