At the moment, I’m living in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex on Social Security Disability. To make up for the fact that I can’t work full-time anymore, I’m writing music on commission. Please see my Commissions page if you’re interested in getting your own custom piece of music written for you!

Prior to this, I was a radio reporter and broadcaster for Metro Networks (later part of Clear Channel, then part of Total Traffic), working out of the Dallas/Fort Worth offices for the better part of a decade. I produced and broadcast traffic reports, primarily for Dallas radio station KRLD 1080-AM and for the satellite radio service Sirius XM. For a while, I also read the morning news for a radio station in Kansas City, thanks to the miracle of the internet. In addition to broadcasting, I also wrote news and sports stories for the Metro Networks news wire service.

Prior to that, I worked for Apogee/3D Realms, a game development and production company based out of Garland, Texas. My official title from 1996 to 2002 was that of Music and Sound Director, although I kind of hit the music part a couple of years earlier when I wrote most of the soundtrack for Rise of the Triad from my home while working Technical Support at the office during lunch hours. Other games I worked on included Duke Nukem 3D, Stargunner, Balls of Steel (a pinball game), and Shadow Warrior. When I wasn’t writing music or creating sound effects, I directed voice actors. I occasionally stepped into the booth myself and managed to sneak in a few lines of my own into some of the scripts when I did the voice for a character.

I also worked for the Internal Revenue Service as a Tax Examiner/Payment Tracer/Federal Tax Deposit (FTD) Accountant/Computer Programmer/you name it. This was over a span from the early 80s into the early 90s. The computer programming bit involved database programming and writing C code, complete with writing technical documentation for what I had created.

Other items about my past and present may be found in my Wikipedia entry, so please click on over there if you want more. Thank you!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Lee Jackson, and I'm the composer of "Grabbag," the theme to the video game Duke Nukem 3D, plus music for Rise of the Triad and Shadow Warrior (the original). I've got four albums out, with tracks on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud! Read More…
