Kara Jackson
Creative Director, Spirit Music Group

Born and raised in Indiana, Kara Jackson found her way to Nashville through participating in off-campus internships during her four years at DePauw University. After graduating in 2016, she landed her first job working as the publishing and manager assistant at Red Creative Group. Kara spent the early part of 2018 on the road with Jordan Davis and Jillian Jacqueline as their merchandise and VIP coordinator. Wanting to spend her time solely focused on publishing and shift out of management, Kara made the move to BMG as their publishing assistant and quickly elevated her title to creative coordinator.

Kara’s passion for songs and ability to connect with creators caught the attention of Spirit Music Nashville and in 2019 she accepted their offer as Creative Director.
