Jackson, who left Apple Music in September, after giving seven years to the company has been keeping quiet about his next move since his transition, but people expected big things to be on his horizon due to his longstanding relationships with some of the top stars of our time, including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Drake.
Gamma was cofounded by former Interscope CFO, Ike Youssef, and is said to have $1 billion available in equity and debt, according to Variety.
