A proud graduate of Blake High School, BK has traveled the world, sharing stages with icons like Bruno Mars, Usher, Trombone Shorty, and Anita Baker. Yet, he hasn’t forgotten where it all began.   BK Jackson is no stranger to the Tampa Bay music scene, and his saxophone skills and soulful melodies continue to mesmerize audiences. Now, he’s using his platform to make a difference. During his second annual Party in the Bay concert, BK emphasized the importance of supporting organizations like the Hillsborough Education Foundation, which provides essential resources, such as school supplies and classroom enrichment grants, to local teachers, helping to empower the next generation of students.   Want to follow BK’s lead and help students, teachers, and schools in Hillsborough County?
