Eissa Jackson, the son of iconic singer Janet Jackson and Qatar-born Wissam Al Mana, is showing early signs of musical talent, potentially following in his mother’s footsteps. Born into the renowned Jackson family, Janet, now 57, was the youngest of ten siblings, with her famous brothers forming the Jackson 5. After beginning her career in television, Janet rose to fame as a solo artist, known for hits like “Together Again” and “Nasty,” with multi-platinum albums such as Control and Rhythm Nation 1814. Her 1986 album Control marked her breakthrough as a global star.
Eissa, born in 2017, has inherited his mother’s musical genes, showing interest in instruments like the violin and cello. Despite his evident talent, Janet has emphasized that she wouldn’t push him into the entertainment industry unless it’s something he genuinely desires. After her brief marriage to Wissam ended shortly after Eissa’s birth, Janet expressed her commitment to being a present, loving mother, balancing her career with motherhood. The singer often praises Eissa for teaching her the depths of love, particularly after being raised in the spotlight where self-concern was a priority.
Currently, Janet is co-parenting Eissa with Wissam in London, and she continues to cherish her role as a mother, sharing her journey of love and growth through her son.
