Welcome to our Season 2, Episode 1

We met with Dwayne Jackson also known as Deeslyrics to discuss his creative process for producing the podcast's introductory song and to learn more about his journey in different facets of life.

Dwayne Jackson is a single father of one 17-year-old son. He grew up in the Midwest, originating from Chicago and Madison, Wisconsin. Early on, he developed a passion for both sports and music, excelling in both as a young man. After completing high school, he enlisted in the army and became a biomedical technician, affording him opportunities to work around the globe.

The army introduced him to a different set of challenges, ultimately leading him to pursue further education in the fields of psychology and management. This decision stemmed from the leadership and motivational aspects he encountered during his military service. In 2010, he initiated a bachelor's program in psychology, progressing to a master's in business before enrolling in an MFT program.

Currently, he holds the position of Chief of Clinical Technologies at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland. In this role, he oversees the division responsible for managing biomedical engineering, cybersecurity, asset management, clinical systems, contract management, and project management.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, he is the owner of the record label Shattered Dream. Through this venture, he produces and creates music, similar to the introductory song for the strength in solidarity podcast.
