Steven Randall Jackson Jr. is a television producer and director who works in entertainment production, primarily with The Walt Disney Company. He is publicly known as Randy Jackson Jr. or Randall Jackson Jr. — a name that can cause some initial confusion, since his father is Randy Jackson, the musician and member of the Jackson family. Steven is not Randy Jackson the former American Idol judge; that is a different person entirely.
Beyond his own career, Steven holds a distinctive place in the Jackson family. He is simultaneously the maternal half-brother and paternal first cousin of Jaafar Jackson — a dual relationship that comes from overlapping family ties between two branches of the same family.
Who Is Steven Randall Jackson Jr.?
Steven was born in 1992 to Randy Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza. He grew up with the Jackson family name on both sides of his immediate world — his father being one of the Jackson brothers, and his mother later forming a separate family branch that connected directly back to the same group.
He goes by Randy Jackson Jr. in some professional and public contexts and Randall Jackson Jr. in others. Either way, the name refers to the same person: Steven Randall Jackson Jr., born 1992, son of Randy Jackson and Alejandra Oaziaza.
His Career in Television and Entertainment Production
Steven has built a career in television and entertainment production, with a professional path centered on The Walt Disney Company and Disney General Entertainment Content. His roles have spanned associate producer, producer, and senior producer positions, as well as a manager role in creative marketing production. His work has covered physical production, live streams, digital and social content, on-air programming, and special projects.
People has identified him as an Emmy-nominated director and producer and associated him with productions including Only Murders in the Building. In 2026, Steven publicly noted receiving his first Emmy nomination as a director and producer — a milestone he acknowledged openly, marking a meaningful point in a career he has been building steadily within a competitive industry.
His professional path is largely his own. While the Jackson name carries significant weight in entertainment, Steven’s work sits in the production and creative marketing side of television rather than in music or performance. Those following coverage of the Jackson family through resources like First Business Mag will find that Steven represents a newer generation of the family working in behind-the-scenes entertainment roles.
Half-Brother and Cousin: His Relationship With Jaafar Jackson
The relationship between Steven and Jaafar Jackson is one of the more genuinely unusual family configurations to come out of the Jackson family story. They are not simply cousins, and they are not full brothers. They are both — at the same time — and through two entirely separate biological lines.
The first connection is through their mother. Steven and Jaafar share the same mother, Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza. That makes them maternal half-brothers. They have the same mother but different fathers.
The second connection is through their fathers. Steven’s father is Randy Jackson. Jaafar’s father is Jermaine Jackson. Randy and Jermaine are brothers. That makes Steven and Jaafar paternal first cousins.
These are two separate biological relationships, not one relationship described two ways. Steven is Jaafar’s half-brother through Alejandra and Jaafar’s first cousin through the Jackson brothers. Both are true simultaneously, which is what makes the connection stand out in coverage of the family.
His Parents and the Jackson Family Background
Steven’s mother, Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza, was previously in a relationship with Randy Jackson, with whom she had two children: Genevieve Katherine Jackson and Steven. Randy Jackson and Alejandra did not marry. Alejandra later entered a relationship with Jermaine Jackson — Randy’s brother — and the two married, going on to have Jaafar and Jermajesty Jackson together.
That sequence of relationships is what created the overlapping family structure. Alejandra’s children from her time with Randy — Genevieve and Steven — share a mother with her children from her marriage to Jermaine. And because Randy and Jermaine are brothers, the children from both relationships are also cousins through their respective fathers.
Randy Jackson, Steven’s father, is a member of the broader Jackson musical family. He and Jermaine are brothers, which places Steven directly within that extended family network even before factoring in his mother’s later relationship.
Steven’s Siblings
Steven has one full sister: Genevieve Katherine Jackson, born in 1989. Genevieve is also Alejandra’s daughter with Randy Jackson, and she carries the same dual relationship to Jaafar that Steven does — maternal half-sister and paternal first cousin simultaneously.
Through their mother’s marriage to Jermaine Jackson, Steven also has two maternal half-brothers: Jaafar Jackson, born in 1996, and Jermajesty Jackson. Both Jaafar and Jermajesty are Alejandra’s sons with Jermaine.
That gives Steven a sibling group that spans two family relationships — a full sister on one side and two half-brothers on the other, with the half-brothers also being his first cousins through their fathers.
Steven Randall Jackson Jr. is someone with a genuine professional identity in television production and a family background that places him at the intersection of two Jackson family branches. His dual relationship with Jaafar — maternal half-brother and paternal first cousin at once — is a straightforward result of how those two branches connect, even if it takes a moment to follow. Outside of that family context, he is a working producer and director whose career at Disney and in television continues to develop on its own terms.
