The Jack

About Me

.. They call him The Jack(short for The Jack Of ALL Trades). He was givin the illustrious pseudonom because of the music he creates and pretty much the way he lives life. He plays 15 instruments to date, focusing now mainly on the sax, steel drums, piano, and guitars, occasionaly drums. He is an adaptive beatmaker, able to make basically any type of music that the artist calls for. With his new Album coming out soon (Emakulate Fashion), he shall introduce professionaly one of his first of many styles that the future will be riddled with...Hip Hop. He carries an allegiance to Music, being a musician first then birthed into lyricism so don't worry, this is one rapper who you can enjoy because he actually talks about something. His stage presence, two different shoes and work with PRINCE and THE TWINZ is what has givin him the notariety that he has so far. He's traveled the coast of the U.S., the carribean and Spain doing what he loves, Music, so everything is coming along, but people, now he needs you. Singing, rapping and playin' music isn't enough to make it in this industry, he needs you, the PEOPLE to lend an ear, keep him on his toes and spread the word. But by all means, take a listen first and see if his bite is as good as his bark. He's always open to collab with any SERIOUS artist (please no BS'n, this is his life and livelyhood not just a hobby) if you're dedicated you can do big things. Let him know what you think, He takes criticism well.:) The Jack (Master of Many)
