Lavel Jackson biography:-

Born in Saginaw, Michigan Lavel was destined to be a musician. He made instruments out of any household object he could find. He could learn the words to songs and sing them as well as any professional recording artist. After he graduated High School, he was invited to sing with several bands and groups, but it the offer to join the B.A.D Band that gave the opportunity to realize what a good front-man can do for a band or group. Lavel was the lead vocalist for the band “The B.A.D. Band” during the 80’s and early 90’s. Although The B.A.D. Band never achieved national or international success, they did have 2 successful single releases (Stay Awhile" (1986) and "All I Want is You" (1988) which lead to the band being the opening act for many major recording artist during that era.
