Biography

Eisenberg was born and raised in Netanya, Israel, to Miriam and Robert Eisenberg. When he was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack. At the age of 13, he started performing at school ceremonies. He graduated from Eldad High School in Netanya and began to play the piano, guitar, drums, and bass. He started touring with Jamus, his hip hop band with Guy Eliahu. He was also supporting himself as a waiter and wedding singer. In 2003, he released the album Sim Tarosh Batsad with Jamus.
Eisenberg declined to serve in the Israeli army, declaring himself a pacifist.
In May 2006, his roommate signed him onto Kochav Nolad, where he won top prize on September 7, besting Maya Rotman and Refael Mirila, singing "Ani Meabed Otakh" and "Nirdam Al Hakholot" with Ninet Tayeb.

After ''Kochav Nolad''

After winning the Kochav Nolad title, his remarks about avoiding military service and the release of a song he recorded with Jamus, "Medina Zona, Medina Motsetset", aroused military and public objections. He was unofficially banned from many media outlets and disappeared from the public life.
He returned to the Israeli music business in 2007, releasing "Kashe Li Lo Lehitragesh" with Maya Rotman for the fifth season of Kochav Nolad. The song became a big hit in Israel, reaching number one in the main charts.
On January 1, 2008, he released an eponymous debut album. The singles from the album were "Shar Shar", "Tsoreakh" and "Nirdam Al Hakholot". Commercially, the album was unsuccessful, as only 6,000 copies were sold.
In December 2009, Eisenberg participated in the local children's musical theatre "Aly Bubba v-40 Hagenavim", playing the role of King, alongside Miki Kam and Rodrigo Gonzalez.
After an unsuccessful tour for his debut album, in July 2010, Jacko left Israel and lived in Amsterdam for two years. In June 2012, Eisenberg returned to Israel to restart his career. In the next three years, he released three new singles which did not air in local radio stations.
Eisenberg participated in Big Brother VIP (Israeli season 4).
