Music with a Message: Healing a Nation Divided
In a climate marked by social tensions, political division, and economic challenges, few voices resonate louder than those advocating for unity. Lamont Jackson—a Kansas Capitol Police officer by day and singer by soul—is that rare voice. His newly released single, “Levitate Remix 2025 Ft. SJ The Artist,” arrives as a timely anthem of hope, healing, and elevation. Having already stunned audiences with his emotional performance at the Apollo Theater and a viral onstage appearance with Kelly Clarkson, Jackson is once again proving that music has the power to transcend uniforms and stereotypes.
Levitate – A Song for the Times
“Levitate” is more than a song—it’s a declaration. Blending soulful vocals with empowering lyrics, the track conveys a message of transcending division and embracing unity. Inspired by real-world issues and Jackson’s firsthand experience navigating both community and law enforcement spheres, the single speaks directly to those yearning for peace and understanding in turbulent times.
Viral Patrol Car Karaoke to Performing with Kelly Clarkson
Lamont Jackson’s unexpected rise to national attention began behind the wheel of a police car. A video of him and fellow officer Mike Pagel singing Jeffrey Osborne’s “Love Ballad” went viral, capturing hearts and shifting perceptions. Kelly Clarkson was so moved by their rendition that she invited the duo to perform “Stand By Me” live on stage during her Kansas City concert, where Jackson sang in full uniform. Their performance earned a standing ovation and later led to an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where they shared their journey of building bridges through song.
A Dream Realized at the Apollo Theater
Long before the viral fame, Jackson dared to chase another dream—performing at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater. Encouraged by friends and driven by passion, he faced the crowd at one of music’s most intimidating stages. Despite facing both cheers and boos, his Apollo experience forged him into a more resilient artist. That courage continues to define his path as he uses music to challenge stereotypes and uplift the souls of others.
Bridging Law Enforcement and Community Through Music
At the core of Lamont Jackson’s mission is a deep belief in connection. In a time when tensions between law enforcement and the public have escalated due to economic uncertainty and political polarization, Jackson is using his music as a healing balm. His performances—raw, authentic, and filled with emotion—offer a rare glimpse into the human side of those behind the badge.
“Music gives me the chance to show people that we’re all more alike than we are different,” says Jackson.
Through both community events and national platforms, he continues to push for more open dialogue and understanding, showing that service and creativity are not mutually exclusive.
Looking Ahead – Purpose and Passion
With “Levitate” now reaching listeners across the country, Lamont Jackson is poised to expand his message and musical legacy. Whether on stage, in uniform, or the studio, he remains committed to one goal: Bringing people together. As the country continues to wrestle with division, his voice reminds us that healing begins with empathy—and sometimes, a song.
