    Artist description
    Believe it or not, this stuff is done completely by one person. His name is Jack, he's 17, and he will quickly gain access, via a perverbial key of some sort, to your heart, upon you listening to his stuff. He writes, plays, records, and produces his own stuff, all alone, in his garage. He uses some cheap mics, a $150 used drum kit, an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar, some electric guitars, 2 Fender Rhodes pianos, an acoustic piano, a cheap portable keyboard, and a PolyMoog synth. Plus he has a wooden trash can and some cheap maracas for percussion. He only truly plays the piano, but has taught himself everything else.

    Artist History
    Jack was born in Illinois, moved to upstate New York, and goes to high school. Great. Well, his father is an amazingly talented songwriter and guitar playin man, and former hippie freak who was into a VERY eclectic collection of music, and still is. From Herbie Hancock to Elvis, Elvis Costello to Boz Scaggs, The Butthole Surfers, and Earl Scruggs.. just to name an insignificant amount. So anyways, Jack was exposed to a bunch of different stuff when he was a kid, and was a music freak from the start. He also has perfect pitch.
