His debut album was Notes from the Wild. Six of the singles in rotation made it into the 5 FM Top Five and two of them the number one spot. “Home Safe” ft. Kat Winter was the biggest single off the album. The new album #Self Medicated - captures influences from rap, RnB/soul, trip/hop and pop. I caught up with Jack, last week.
Music means more than most to me, it has been a huge part of my life for so long – first as just a listener then as a creator and a listener. I feel it’s the only medicine to soothe the soul.
Definitely, the moment in the studio when everyone realises that you’re making something great and everyone’s excited and getting ahead of themselves for a couple minutes, and you play it back and play it back and feel this buzz. It’s hard to explain, but yeah.
I would like to say humility.
Got a couple but the one that sticks in my head was when this lady in front of me fell off this dude’s shoulders and went down pretty hard – she got up pretty swiftly so it was pretty funny, luckily I was in between songs.
My laptop, hands down. If that went missing my world would crash.
Depends on the time. If we are starting in the afternoon, then a G&T for sure, if it’s evening, Scotch on the rocks. And always tequila.
Coachella, main stage, pm.
Probably my booming voice when I’m having fun, it’s loud.
Hetto, Jack the Ripper, Bambi.
I think I would be a hairdresser or football coach.
Humble, caring, inpatient, funny, anxious.
My sneakers, for sure.
“Easy on those apples and pears or you slip and end up brown bread.” – Easy on those stairs or you’ll slip and end up dead.
Motorcycle ride from the top of Italy to the bottom.
I think being a self-taught musician because it’s not easy to learn and apply and achieve and it takes a lot of time. My new single “People” was composed, produced, written and recorded by me – which I’m pretty proud of.
People being late.
Flying in planes.
Talk a lot.
Anywhere with a bar and good music, it’s rare.
Just a number one or two hit that would do it nicely.
