Jackie is an extraterrestrial who crash landed on Earth in the 1970s. His moonlit complexion quickly earned him the nickname "Moontan," a nod to his origins and otherworldly glow. His music explores themes of identity, alienation, love, desire and madness. Combining the theatricality and sensual energy of Prince, the cosmic funk eccentricity of Parliament and the modern neo-soul sophistication of FKJ.

​

In recent years Jackie released a series of EPs capturing his wild early years on Earth - an era of indulgence and excess. But as the thrill of earthly pleasures waned, loneliness and homesickness began to seep in. This emotional shift culminated in his debut album The Dark Side of the Tanning Bed released in November 2024. The album narrates Jackie’s fall from grace, tracing his personal descent with self depreciating humor as well as a pinch of poetry, unfolding as a diary of an moon man in search for meaning in a bewildering world.
