Trevor Jackson was born on August 30, 1996 in Indiana, USA. He is the youngest of two siblings. His father's name is Kevin Jackson and his mother's name is Cam Baxter. While growing up he played basketball as his father and his elder brother were very much into it. At first, Trevor wanted to be a basketball player as he was taller than all of his friend at school but later realized his potential in dancing and chose it as his career path. His parents have supported him all throughout his career. Since his childhood days, he started playing songs at parties and at school. He even performed on Showtime at the Apollo. In 2004 he got a chance to play young <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simba">Simba</a> from the Lion King. He was just 8 years old at that time.

With an interview with Coveteur.com Trevor was quoted as saying: “My mom says that when I was five or six, I was like, ‘I want to be an NBA player, I want to be a movie star, and I want to make music.’ I’ve wanted to be everything at one point, a surfer, a skater, I did gymnastics for a couple years, and I did capoeira for like, eight or nine years." Trevor continues, “Everything kind of started from tapping; I wanted to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Hines">Gregory Hines</a>. I realized that if he was in the movie I was watching, he was acting, then he was singing, and he was dancing, and all the girls loved him. It spawned everything else.”
