Jack Garratt: The Story So Far

He started young. Really young. He wrote his first song at the age of 12.

Jack has been supported by Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Introducing since day one. He first uploaded his music to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Introducing Uploader back in 2009.

He was first played on the radio by Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Introducing in Beds, Herts and Bucks. Here's his session from 2012.

In 2014 'Worry' was selected as Zane Lowe's Next Hype record & things went pretty crazy from there!

He smashed the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds Festival 2014...

& had a splendid time as well!

Then he was chosen as Huw Stephens’ Record Of The Week (& Huw knows good music when he hears it).

& was also added to the Radio 1 playlist!

So yes 2014 was a huge year for Jack Garratt, here are 5 facts you might not know about the man:

1. He’s from a little village in Buckinghamshire called Little Chalfont.

2. He first started writing music when he just 12 – he’d write songs in lunch break at school.

3. The first song he ever wrote got him a place in the GB finals for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

4. This about Junior Eurovision will probably make him cringe!

5. He’s a multi-instrumentalist – he can play loads of instruments from a trombone to a mandolin.

Then to top it all off and to celebrate the first ever Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Introducing Day, he came in to do a session for Zane Lowe.
