He gained recognition as a member of the pop band The Jackson 5, while he has been a member of its successor The Jacksons since 1983.

Jermaine was raised in Gary alongside his eight siblings, ninth sibling Brandon having died not long after birth in 1957, by their father Joseph who was an American talent manager, and their mother Katherine Jackson who was a housewife.
