The son of former Jackson 5 guitarist Tito Jackson and the nephew of pop legend Michael Jackson, T.J. Jackson was born Tito Joseph Jackson on July 16, 1978, and grew up in Los Angeles, California, with brothers Tariano (later known as Taj) and Taryll. Their mother, Delores, “made sure that we had a real childhood, with birthday parties, baseball, family outings, all that stuff,” Taj Jackson told People magazine.

In his teens, T.J. and his brothers formed the group 3T. The group released their first album Brotherhood in 1995, on which proved to be a family affair. Their uncle, Michael Jackson, produced some of their songs, and their father and uncles Marlon Jackson, Jackie Jackson and Jermaine also performed on the record.
