All in the Family: The Musical Stylings of Jackie Castro

March 31, 2014

In singer-songwriter Jackie Castro’s family, music is a staple of life. Her older brothers, Jason and Michael Castro, have both competed in American Idol — Jason placed fourth in Season 7 and Michael was a Season 8 contestant. Jackie’s father, as well as his eight siblings, all play guitar and sing. Jackie plays a little guitar, piano and ukulele, and each of her original songs and covers on her YouTube channel boasts thousands of views. “There is always music in my house,” Jackie says.
