Steven Randall Jackson (born October 29, 1961) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and dancer.

Randy first appeared live with his brothers in 1971[4] at a Christmas show the Jackson 5 held for blind children.

[12] The same year, he co-founded Total Multimedia Inc. with former Iron Butterfly bass player Philip Taylor Kramer to develop data compression techniques for CD-ROMs.

To honor him, Randy and his brothers Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and Tito served as pallbearers with each wearing a single spangly white glove and sunglasses.

[24] He pleaded no contest to the charge,[25] was placed on two years' probation and ordered to enroll in a domestic violence program, but didn't comply.

[31] He was ordered to surrender his shares in Modern Records Inc.[32] In May 1998, an arrest warrant was issued when Jackson failed to turn over the stock.

[33] In January 2012, Jackson filed a complaint against Oaziaza, disputing an alleged $500,000 owed in child support.

[36] He, Jermaine and Janet objected to the 2011 tribute concert held for Michael, stating that they felt the family's attention should have been focused on Conrad Murray's trial.

[38] Randy, Jermaine, and Janet attempted to take the children with them to Arizona, where it was alleged that Katherine was being held against her will after being kidnapped.

[39] Footage of the event appeared to show the siblings storming the house and Janet trying to take Paris's phone.
