Not to mention his contributions to more than 20 albums with The Jackson 5, two albums with The Jacksons, and collaborations with various other artists.


Jermaine debuted in 1967 as a member of the sensational music group The Jackson 5 as a (co-lead) singer and bass player of the band. Considered “one of the biggest phenomenons in pop music during the early 1970s, The Jackson 5’s combination of extraordinary musical talent and choreography has earned the family the status of pop royalty in the music world.


While his brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Michael and Randy went on to form The Jacksons after signing with CBS Records, Jermaine remained loyal to Motown and continued to pursue a successful solo career.


In recognition of their immense impact on music, The Jackson 5 were rightfully inducted into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999.


Adored by millions of fans the world over, the Jackson brothers forever changed the landscape of popular music. The Jacksons’ unique brand of soulful pop-funk, their lengthy catalogue of hits, and their impeccable live performances have made them one of the most beloved musical acts of all time. Idols unlike any other in music history, the Jacksons redefined, reinvented, and reinvigorated popular music as we know it.


Giving back has been a hallmark of the Jackson family value since they started in the music industry 50 years ago. Jermaine has been actively involved in numerous humanitarian efforts, supporting charity organizations, and raising awareness through his advocacy to make the world a better place.

In 1989, Jermaine embarked on a transformative journey after a trip to Bahrain, embracing Islam and adopting the name Mohammad Abdul Aziz Sharif. Jermaine used his voice to bridge the gap between the East and the West, spreading awareness of Arab and Islamic culture through interviews and discussions.


Jermaine Jackson continues to share the thruthful story of his family and his beloved brother Michael through various platforms and projects. His memoir "You Are Not Alone, Michael: Through A Brother’s Eyes," published in 2011 and revised in 2013, provides an intimate and loving portrait of his brother Michael, illuminating the private man behind the music like never before. It's no wonder this heartfelt memoir has become an Amazon and New York Times bestseller.
