You want your guests to have fun - to smile, to laugh, to dance and quite simply to remember your event for years to come. This is where I come in. Without sounding too cliché, music has always been everything to me. Nothing brings me more joy than performing - whether it's an intimate pub gig with a couple of people or a packed-out music venue playing to hundreds, I am beyond passionate about what I do. Although I have been obsessed with singing since I can remember, it really started back in 2011 when I was just twelve years old. One day my dad came home with a guitar he had picked up for me at the local charity shop after weeks of me begging and pleading. I went away to my bedroom and practiced with the help of online videos. That same night I wrote my first song using the first four chords I had learned, played it for my family and the rest is history... Throughout my teenage years I spent pretty much all of my free time building a fanbase, promoting my covers and original songs. By the time I was 15, I had an audience of over 50,000. It was then that I decided to take things to the next level and, much to my parents' understandable doubt, I planned and conducted a six-date headline tour of the UK. The tour took me to Newcastle, Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham, London and Cardiff with two shows selling out completely! Of course, this was a key highlight of my career and my life in general but with GCSEs looming and the real world fast approaching, my music had to take a backseat. Since then, I have been casually releasing my own songs in between working full-time unfulfilling jobs. Some of my tracks have done relatively well, receiving national radio play and media coverage as well as garnering the attention of key players in the UK rap scene. However, my time was being consumed by the mundane task of going to work to pay bills. For this reason, I decided to bite the bullet at the beginning of 2023 and prepare to make music my full-time job. Over the last few months I have worked tirelessly with my manager to craft and perfect a 'one-size-fits-all' setlist ideal for weddings, gigs and pretty much any event. Now I'm ready to re-enter the world I love so much! My time now consists of rehearsing, writing, recording, producing and performing music. I live, eat, sleep and breathe music and - according to my recent clients, friends and family - this is evident in my performance. If you're looking for a fun, versatile and unique performer for your event then you truly have come to the right place. My setlist has been created for all ages and musical preferences. With tracks made famous by the dominating artists of the last 60+ years such as Oasis, Ben E. King, Lady Gaga, Bryan Adams, Kings of Leon, ABBA, Lewis Capaldi, Green Day, Ed Sheeran and many many more, there really is something for everyone - carefully ordered to maximise engagement and to ensure that everybody's having a good time! With an even mixture of live acoustic guitar accompaniments and performances with a backing track; all across a multitude of genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, R&B, country and soul (to name but a few), what's not to love? Plus, we can alter the setlist according to your needs if necessary! I look forward to hearing from you and making your special day that bit more special.

Jack was not only an excellent performer but he also made us laugh with punchy one liners between songs. Very glad we chose Jack for our big day!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients love the fact that my set list is varied, I am enthusiastic in my performance and I like to get the audience involved through direct communication. People also like when I throw a little comedy between songs (usually cheesy puns).

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at many, many venues over the years! Most notably I have performed at the famous Fiddlers Elbow (Camden, London) and 10 Feet Tall (Cardiff).

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The easier question would be 'what artists have you NOT been influenced by'... my personal music taste is so varied. Mainly my influences are Lauryn Hill, Ed Sheeran, Amy Winehouse and The Kid LAROI.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

This is a difficult one to pinpoint, but I would have to say my sold-out headline show in Cardiff!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Things change, that's life! We will always try to accommodate you as best as possible. The sooner you can let us know, the better and, in most cases, we should be able to make adjustments within reason.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. We also offer karaoke! If you'd like a DJ or karaoke service before or after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional fee of £100 - £150. See the add-ons section of my profile to add this to your booking.

How much time do you need to set up?

Ideally we like to get set up 30-45 minutes before the performance is scheduled to begin. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted to give all guests a great time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. You can add up to 3 songs to the set list which I will learn and rehearse for an additional fee of £50 including a video consultation (see the add-ons section)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes - I bring my own guitar, mic, mic stand, standalone PA system and everything else needed. My PA system is suitable for small functions such as corporate events and intimate weddings, however for larger spaces it is much better if PA can be provided so the sound carriers further.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in the set list there may still be a chance I already know it - just ask :) ... If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service (1-3 songs) to take into account rehearsal times etc. - please see the 'add-ons' section.
