Jack Johnson is a Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter, musician, filmmaker, and surfer who achieved commercial success and a dedicated following, after the release of his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. He has since released four more albums and a number of EPs. His music is best described as acoustic/soft rock.( Jack Hody Johnson born May 18, 1975).

Jack Johnson began writing songs during his college years, having played the guitar since 14. He was brought up with influences such as Nick Drake, Ben Harper, the Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and A Tribe Called Quest. One day G. Love was introduced to Jack for a day of surfing and ended up recording Jack’s song “Rodeo Clowns” for his last album Philadelphonic. It became the first single from the album and Jack sang and played on the track. His four-track demo caught the ears of Ben Harper's producer and right-hand man, J. P. Plunier, who worked with Jack on his debut album Brushfire Fairytales in early 2001 with Harper and his lap steel guitar making a guest appearance. Genre(s) : Surf music, Acoustic, Folk, Soft Rock.
