Today we’d like to introduce you to Tameka Jackson
Hi Tameka, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In 2008, God gave Tameka a vision and a mission for a marketing and promotions music
company called Blessed Entertainment. By the summer of 2009, Blessed Entertainment teamed
up with Universal Christian Music Group Fontana to handle marketing and promotions for Holy
Hip Hop Artist TruServa. Before she knew it, God had Tameka working with National Gospel
Artists through Optimus Entertainment, Apostle
Darrell Yancey, Tommye Young-West, Dave Hollister, Montrell Darrett, David Chance (Ruff
Endz) and actor/ recording artist Malcolm-Jamal Warner. By 2015 Tameka formed a company with Michelle Jennings (Pack N Play Adventures) and Vanessah McCarroll (Xcentrix Magazine) to form VTM, where they worked with such artist as National R&B Artist Recording El DeBarge Jr, son of the great music legend El DeBarge, National R& B Recording Artist Calvin Taylor, grandson of blues legend Johnny Taylor, National R&B Recording Artist Dee Walton, National R&B Recording Artist J-Hen, and Grammy Award Winning R&B Recording Artist Link.
God told Tameka Blessed Entertainment will have five major divisions: Film, Radio, Apparel,
Marketing and Promotions, Legal Documents and Ministry. By the summer of
2018, everything He presaged started becoming reality. Tameka has worked behind the
scenes on three successful short films: Assistant Director Black Paint by Nathaniel Avila, in the
Script and Continuity Department of High Hopes by EJ Jamison and in the Sound Department of On My Way
Back by Nathaniel Avila. Tameka was then approached by filmmaker/writer Ken Hoyd
(Mollywood and Long Division) to obtain funding for his movies, which led her to becoming a film financier,
responsible for acquiring film project funding.
In 2019, Tameka partnered with Dukes Business Consulting LLC out of Illinois, facilitating
funding for films working along the side of CEO Larrice Dukes and COO Che-Ron Thicklin (CEO of Suga’s Tees PR and Ladys of the Kingdom) Tameka also began working within the entertainment division with National and
International Music Artists setting up road tours. God blessed Tameka to go into Radio and TV by co-hosting with the late Michael Anthony Johnson on CFN TV InSet Show where they interviewed Business Mogul and Philanthropist Melani Ismail and many others. Tameka launched The National Sounds of Gospel Radio Show from coast to coast on Fishbowl Internet Radio in Arlington, Texas soon
followed, and is now distributed on iHeartRadio, Jio Saavan, Amazon Music and in syndication
on several radio platforms such as Xtreme Praise Radio on the UGN Gospel Network, 411 Radio
Network, and Franchise Radio.
God opened an abundant blessing of opportunities for Blessed Entertainment to have
music distribution through Sony/The Orchard, to a Digital Distribution for her TV show produced by her husband Ernest Jackson
called National Sounds of Gospel TV Show where she’s interviewed “A Different World” Allum Charnele Brown (Kimberly Reece) Actor Andre Pitre, Former NBA Player for the Milwaukee Bucks Kenyon Glover, Award Winning Gospel Artist LaLa Musiq and CeCe Godbolt and many more. This uplifting program can be seen on UBCTV on Roku.
By 2022 God enlarged Tameka’s territory by bestowing upon Blessed Entertainment an abundance of work through her company. Tameka J became a radio personality at The Uplift Live out of Dallas, TX, where she hosts her show Sunday Brunch with Tameka J from 10am-2pm CST. By 2023, KKVI 98.3FM Friendlee Radio PD Matthew (The Rev) Middleton announced today that syndicated Radio/TV media personality Tameka J. will host her weekday broadcast radio show “National Sounds of Gospel.” on their platform. The program, which will air from 3-6pm CST, has launched across Greenville, Caddo Mills, Commerce and Lone Oak, TX,
and includes online listeners from www.FriendleeRadio.com. “National Sounds of Gospel” will feature the influential personality in a Gospel-Inspired list, interviews and special guests interactive show, as she connects directly with listeners on an inspirational word for the day and Friendlee advice. Tameka J. plays Traditional, Christian, Contemporary, Rhythm & Praise, Christian Hip Hop, Reggae Praise, and Praise & Worship, music from industry and indie artist. The show will be fun, entertaining, inspiring and will include celebrity interviews and special guests.
By 2024, God told Tameka it was time to start the radio station, because his word has to get out to the masses through media, so Tameka and her husband Ernest Jackson obeyed and started their 24/7 Internet Gospel Radio Station KPDR Purpose Driven Radio, playing all genres of gospel music, inspiring word, and sermons on Sunday’s. Within three months of owning the station, God blessed KPDR Purpose Driven Radio to form partnerships with Wendy’s, Red Juicy Grab Garland, Cinnaholic, and TGI Friday’s. By the fourth month of the station being on the platform, four radio shows on KPDR Purpose Driven Radio became nominated for awards including National Sounds of Gospel.

Tameka J is a proud citizen of Garland, Texas. Having grown up in the city, she’s always wanted to express her talents, and business in the beautiful city of Garland. God has blessed KPDR Purpose Driven Radio to partner with the City of Garland and the Granville Arts Center to bring the first Gospel Choir Competition to Downtown Garland in February 2025.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No road is smooth until God makes your path straight. Life comes with obstacles and challenges, but it’s all about how you move through those obstacles, I move when God says move and go where he tells me to go, and when I do, no matter what the struggle or challenge may be, God always works it out.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
