Born in Oil City, PA and raised in York, PA and Richmond, VA, Jackson was schooled at a holy roller high school, baptized a Mormon and shipped off for an ill-advised one-day stint in the U.S. Navy Military Jazz Band; Woodrow Wilson Jackson III’s musical influences are as diverse as his eclectic upbringing.
A composer and session musician, Woody Jackson is a pivotal figure in film and video game scoring. Moving to Los Angeles in 1992, Jackson began his career performing on the scores of The Devil Wears Prada and Fun with Dick and Jane, which led to collaborations with David Holmes on the soundtracks for Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen. He wrote and played with the band Unloved and worked on the TV series “Killing Eve.” His score for Red Dead Redemption 2 with Daniel Lanois won the 2018 Game Awards’ Best Score/Music Award, and he’s seen awards for Excellence in Musical Score (SXSW 2019), Best Audio (2019 Game Developers Choice Awards) and Best Soundtrack Album (2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards).
Back in 1994, a group he was in, Hotel X released Engendered Species on SST Records. At that time Jackson was also touring with the Useless Playboys, fronted by Mike Gier a.k.a. Puddles the Clown. After moving to Los Angeles, he toured and then joined Friends of Dean Martinez, recording the album Retrograde on Sub Pop in 1997. Between playing on movies and live performances on the guitorgan with Money Mark (Beastie Boys) and DJ Bonebrake (X), Jackson and Petra Haden released Ten Years, an album titled after the length of time it was in production. July, 2012 saw the release of Dos Manos, an original album produced David Holmes. In 2020, Jackson released his second original solo album, Tres Flores.
Jackson owns and works out of Electro-Vox Studios—formerly in Hollywood, CA—which has recorded Multi-Platinum and Grammy-winning records for artists Adele, Vampire Weekend, Lady Gaga, Arctic Monkeys and Kanye West. As a studio guitarist, he’s shared recording sessions with T-Bone Burnett, Jim Keltner, James Gadson, The Alchemist, Primal Scream, Daniel Johnston, Hal Willner, Tenacious D, and many others.
