Gumbo Jackson is a mind and person of his own. Not quite a rapper and not quite anything, he has a style of substance. Brainchild of Rome Yancey, he is a character and distinct sound of his own. His first name derives from the different genres and art forms from which he expresses himself. The last name derives from the place of his birth Jackson, Tennessee. Jackson is inspired by an array of artists including Queen, Nirvana & the 90s grunge scene, Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z, Bob Marley and many more legends.
