Birth name and stage name
Jacky Teixeira is his birth name; Jacky Brown is a stage name referencing Quentin Tarantino's film Jackie Brown and the "marron" (maroon) theme of his group (Wikidata; French hip-hop profiles). He is of Cape Verdean origin and grew up around Garges-lès-Gonesse (Val-d'Oise).
Nèg' Marrons and media work
With Fabien Loubayi (Ben-J) and Mitry Vigitant (Djamatik) he formed Nèg' Marrons, a well-known French rap act from the mid-1990s onward. He has also been part of La MC-Mal Criado with Stomy Bugsy and others, and worked as a presenter on Trace TV and on Skyrock radio's "Couvre feu" program (English Wikipedia summary; RateRap / French scene writeups).
French-language sources are stronger than English ones for discography detail; this page sticks to documented birth name and public group/media credits.

Why the "real name" question matters
Search interest in a celebrity's "real name" usually means a shortened everyday form, a middle name used as a handle, or a true stage/legal change. This page states which case applies and cites sources rather than gossip.
Readers comparing credits across IMDb, Wikipedia, and national filmographies sometimes find spelling variants (accents, hyphenation, maternal surnames). Where two reliable sources disagree on a middle name or exact birthplace wording, this draft notes both rather than inventing a single form.
