Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today Jack

No problem man

So im aware that you have some major musical roots in your blood. When did you first start creating music and how has your taste evolved over the years?

I started making my own music back in around year 10 with a buddy’s torreted purchased version of Reason. I’ve feel like I’ve touched on just about every genre of music that has interested me since I started. In high school, House/Techno/Electro started to intrigue me, and I’ve been into that for a long time, but recently I’ve been really discouraged by the how the scene played out, bringing forth a lot of really wack, uninspired music. There are obviously still a lot of artists I’m into within that scene, and I’m sure I will get back into it eventually. Since the beginning though, I’ve always been into anything hip-hop oriented, so I’ve continued to hold those structures and ideas close to me no matter what I’m working on.

So what is your overall goal?

I’m trying to make music that I am proud of, enjoy listening to, and happy to share with other people. I'm also trying to make music that will impress Helen Flanagan and ultimately lead to marriage

You just released a brand new EP Clipz. Tell us a little about that

I completed most of it over my spring break in March, when I had time off of school to focus on it. I had about 10 tracks to pick from in the end, so these are the 5 I liked the most, plus I was lucky enough to get an amazing remix from my mans D33J

Tell us about the mix you did for us.

This is basically an amalgamation of all the music I’ve been really into over the past couple months, along with a whole bunch of other tunes from genres all across the board.

All time favourite rap song

Ice Cube – Today was a good day

Frank Ocean or The Weeknd?

The Weekend

What are your plans for this summer?

Ive not really got to much planned to be honest im going to carry on making music with my buddies back at my place and go to a few festivals here in England. At the moment im planning a trip with my friends to go to Amsterdam for a few days and then to Croatia to the Outlook festival that’s going on there, it looks so good with the beach festivals and boat partys, cant wait!

When growing up what did you listen too?

I use to listen to all sorts of music when growing up, my mum liked to listen to 80s music such as WHAM but my dad was more into Stereophonics and The Foo Fighters, so it was really abit of mix of everything really.
