- Jackson is best known under her pseudonym La Roux. She initially collaborated with writer-producer Ben Langmaid, but they cut ties some time after the release of her first album.
- Her parents are actress Trudie Goodwin and actor Kit Jackson.
- Her stage name "La Roux" translates to "the redhead". However, it is grammatically incorrect. According to Jackson, she found the name in a book for baby names. She nonchalantly explained the grammatical error with "It was an English book!".
- She initially worked with producer Ben Langmaid, with whom she formed the band La Roux. Both have produced the album "La Roux", which was not only a success, but also won a Grammy award. Following a conflict between the duo, Langmaid left the group, Jackson then became a solo artist and kept the band's name as her stage name.
- Her 2020 released album "Supervision" was not only her third album, but also the first she released independently.
- [on introducing a sexier tone to La Roux's music] It's a lot cheekier. Not 'touch my bum' cheeky. Just slightly suggestive.
