Hello, I'm Jonny Jack. I love to write and play acoustic guitar led music bristling with soul, youthful vigour and big tent pop hooks.

I'm excited about the future, currently working with producer Nick Brine (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Bruce Springsteen) recording new material at the infamous Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales.

I grew up in Glasgow as the chubby red headed youngest of 3 brothers. Surrounded by the music of Ray Charles, Neil Young and Joe Cocker – I completely fell for the way those guys performed their songs with unshakable conviction. They just lived their songs. It's something I feel is sometimes lacking a little in popular music today. 

Since teaching myself how to play guitar aged 13 I've dedicated my life to creating meaningful, heart on your sleeve music and relentlessly touring the world. I play solo and with a backing band (depending on the venue) which includes my big brothers Paul, Michael and good friend Douglas I’Anson.

Over the past few years I have thrown myself into every aspect of serving an independent musical apprenticeship by writing, performing, managing and promoting myself. I have played hundreds of shows everywhere and anywhere from The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow to The Troubadour in London. After the underground success from debut single Wide Open (single song deal with Three Six Zero Publishing) which spawned a nationwide UK tour and the independently released Skin To The Bone EP, I have attracted music industry and media attention leading to airplay on BBC radio and playing a string of sold out shows throughout 2015. This has also led to life altering experiences supporting established artists such as Gabriella Cilmi, The View, Ronnie Wood and singing on stage with hero Damien Rice at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.
