She grew up the youngest of nine siblings. Her father, Andrew Venson, worked for 40 years as a prominent professional musician before retiring.[1] Venson's mother, Dr. Diane Brinkman, encouraged her to begin playing piano at age eight.[1] Venson was not very disciplined in practice, noting: "It took me three years to put the focus in enough to where I could put my hands together on the piano, and it took me an additional two and a half to three years after that to even want to practice for more than 45 minutes at a time, which you have to if you want to learn how to do anything." It took Venson about three more years to be able to focus on playing for "three or four hours straight like a working musician".[1] Venson considers her musician father a major influence: Well my dad is a professional musician and he was my example. A lot of people like music and they think they have an affinity for it but if nobody else in the family does, then they sometimes don't see it as a possibility. Having my dad as a professional musician, it's like . you can do this, it's hard but you can do this.[2] Venson attended Westwood High School (Austin, Texas) and the Berklee College of Music, where she majored in composition and studio production.[2] Venson said she had a bad experience at Berklee with the ultra-competitive environment the staff fostered, describing it as "American Idol the school".[1] "Berklee was really hard for me", Venson recalled.

She decided to pursue guitar, and began learning the instrument in 2011, during her last year at Berklee.[1] Her piano studies and the music theory she learned in school helped Venson adapt to the new instrument.[1][2] Career In April 2014, Venson entered the Modern Southern Music Competition and won a headlining spot on the Belk Summer Tour.[3][4] She opened for country artists Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and James Taylor.[1] She has also performed at the Austin Urban Music Festival. Austin City Hall declared May 21, 2014 Jackie Venson Day, and held a concert in her honor to raise money for an Austin music school.[5] Venson released her debut studio album, The Light In Me, in 2014.[4] In 2016, she released the EP Jackie Venson Live,[4] and the live album Live at Strange Brew.[6] On September 30, 2017, Venson released her EP Transcends.[4] On October 30, 2018, she released the song "Cover My Eyes" with a live in studio video.[4] In April 2019, Venson released her critically acclaimed album Joy and celebrated that release with a sold out show at Austin's famed Paramount Theatre.
