Support Women Artists Sunday: Little Jackie

Blend the old-school R&B sound with a quirky hybrid of hip-hop and pop and you get Little Jackie, the creation of genre-defying singer-songwriter Imani Coppola and collaborator Adam Pallin. 

The Long Island native, who was raised in a musical household by a black mother and white father who were both always playing and performing music, named the project after a mischievous little boy named Jackie who set her family’s backyard on fire and fittingly after the Lisa Lisa Cult Jam song “Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star.” 

With her music, Coppola has created a space where she’s free to be herself. Fitting in has always been a struggle. “I have a unique take to look at both races,” she says. “The only thing I can really speak for in this life is as a woman.”
