Eighteen-year-old Jack’s musical journey began not with an instrument but with the computer game when he was only 12.
Music then became his passion and a real guitar followed.
Six years on, Jack has left Biggar High School and is now pursuing music as a full-time career.

“After I got my real guitar I enjoyed playing the songs I like to listen to and it just built from there.
“Now that I’ve left school I’m playing a lot of gigs in Edinburgh with my backing band and spending time in the studio as well as recording some demos with our producer Garry Boyle.”
