Although Stevena is related by blood, she prefers to not be closely intertwined with the Jackson last name. She is very adamant about charting her own path. In creating the pseudonym Billie Bodega and as an artist, it is very important for her to get to do so on her own terms. Jackson Source respects Stevena's wishes and her endeavor to do this all on her own and keeping it separate from anything Jackson promotionally. Therefor no updates about Billie Bodega are shared through Jackson Source channels (besides the mention on this webpage).

Los Angeles polymath Billie Bodega has been a creator for the entirety of her life. As a young girl, she discovered her love of singing in her school choir. At home, Bodega reveled in her mother’s diverse music collection, listening to everything from Led Zeppelin to Benedictine chanting.

Bodega began her professional career at age five, landing series regular and lead star roles on networks such as Lifetime, Disney, Nickelodeon, NBC, and WB. She also signed to Ford Models and did print for Nike, Yamaha, Guess, Nordstrom, and more.

While music, dance, and acting were essential stimuli and creative outlets for her, education also played an enormous role in the formation of Billie’s passions. She moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pursue her collegiate career at Harvard University, and graduated with an honors Bachelor’s degree in the visual arts, a minor in African-American studies, and a fluency certification in Portuguese.

Upon the completion of her studies, Bodega returned to Los Angeles and began writing original screenplays and television concepts while simultaneously writing and co-producing her own music.

Having amassed a repertoire of original songs that are as diverse as the eclectic sounds she grew up listening to, Bodega released her debut single, “Ocean Blues,” in March of 2018. Following the success of “Ocean Blues,” Bodega secured a brand partnership with Neiman Marcus and released her debut EP, titled Koo dā ‘tä,later that same year.

Over one million aggregate streams later, Bodega released her single, “Like Woah,” on May 15th, 2020. The sultry song enjoyed four weeks on R&B/Soul iTunes Charts in Latin America.

Billie Bodega's EP koo da ta a emerged as a deeply personal project, marking her creative breakthrough after years of fear and self-doubt about pursuing music. Initially released in 2018, the EP reflects her overcoming inner battles to embrace her voice and artistic vision. Despite pulling the album during the 2020 pandemic for a potential re-release, the overwhelming support from fans pushed her to remaster and reintroduce koo da taa with bonus tracks in September 2024. The EP symbolizes her journey of reclaiming her passion and stepping out of the shadows into creative freedom.

Upon her return into acting, she has most recently starred on American Horror Stories in 2022.

Siren's Island

℗ Billie Bodega, Inc., releases in 2025

Inspired by the macabre allure of Odyssean mythology, Billie Bodega’s Siren’s Island is a collection of woefully tantalizing songs. According to legend, the sirens of the sea are creatures whose irresistible voices ring out across the waters, drawing sailors to an inevitable, treacherous fate.

The siren’s song is both beautiful and deadly, a paradox of sensuality and danger. Although sirens are rumored to be stunning, their faces remain a mystery—no man who has glimpsed one has lived to tell the tale.

In Siren’s Island, Bodega creates soundscapes that are both intimate and ominous, sensual yet foreboding. With production value that doesn’t shy away from darkness, and lyricism that doesn’t play coy, “Siren’s Island” is an echo, an invitation, and a warning.
