Well before Kaitlyn Jackson appeared on Season 13 of American Idol, “where she wowed all three judges with an original song dedicated to her grandfather and made it to the final Hollywood solo rounds,” her singing skills were catching people's attention in and around Chenango County. At the early age of 14, Jackson was awarded the Horizon Award for promising new artists by the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame.
