Brian Jack then....
Brian Jack, a Baltimore, Maryland native, has been playing music since he was in high school. From 1984 until 1991, he played in the band Child's Play, a back to the basics, rock'n roll band. Child's Play went through several changes before their most known line up, which featured Brian as the lead singer and very dynamic front man, also playing lead and rhythm guitar on many of the songs.
Child's Play had a very strong following in the Mid-Atlantic area. In 1990, they were signed by Chrysalis Records and soon released their debut album, Rat Race. Child's Play toured nationwide in support of their release. They had one video, which was also the title track, the song called Rat Race. Their music was played on radio stations nationwide. Although Child's Play was a great band, it was time to move on. Brian was ready to broaden his horizons and try something new. He had started to grow out of the band that gave him his start in music. He had been wanting to change his musical direction for a while, and had been working on his own material on the side. It was now time to let everyone hear the other side of Brian Jack. In 1991, Brian left Child's Play to start his solo career in music.
This other side of Brian wanted to play music and sing songs with more mood and feeling to them. Brian has the kind of voice that sounds good whether singing a hard driving rock song or a timeless love song. He has a very strong voice, yet at the same time it has an airiness to it that gives him a very sexy sound. His new musical style features upbeat rock songs, as well as beautiful ballads.
In 1992, Brian independently released his first solo effort, a CD titled Promise of Love, which shows the softer side of Brian. With all the loads of requests, soon the major local radio station, 98Rock, was playing Brian's CD like crazy. Before long, other radio stations throughout the Mid-Atlantic area got wind of it and were soon playing the CD also. For a unsigned musician, the CD got very heavy radio airplay and sold extremely well. In all, the CD sold over 10,000 copies!!! And that's without a major record label backing him. Just by word of mouth, Brian became one of the hottest things in the Mid-Atlantic area!!!
Brian Jack now....!
Brian with Gabi Records, has just independently released his second CD, Collage! The title of the CD describes it pretty well since he used a collage of musicians and worked in a collage of studios putting it together.
But Brian's heart and soul will always be his music. He continues to play for audiences in clubs and benefits throughout the Mid-Atlantic area, as he is still one of the most popular musical attractions there. We hope that in time people outside the Mid-Atlantic area will get the opportunity to experience the sounds and sights of such a talented musician and performer. If you don't have the new CD, get it!!! You won't be sorry. Then spread the word so others can have the chance to enjoy the music of Brian Jack.
Brian is talented in other areas as well as music. During the summer months, he enjoys water sports such as jet skiing and surfing. And in the winter, you can find Brian skiing and snow boarding. Not only does he enjoy these sports, but he is also quite good at them!!!
