Jack Johnson

Born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, Pop-Rock singer+songwriter Jack Johnson began surfing the Pipeline at age 10 and started playing guitar when he was 14, eventually Johnson left home to study film at University of California.
Returning to Hawaii he worked on surf cinema documentary entitled "Thicker Than Water".

By this point he discovered his music talent and in early 2001 released his first album, "Brushfire Fairytales"; the record made an impressive impact at radio with an adult-alternative slant reaching the #34 on The Billboard Top 200 chart; it included the single "Flake" which peaked at #22 on Modern Rock Tracks chart and another Modern Rock top 40 hit, "Bubble Toes".
Johnson's second full-length CD, "On And On", was released in May 2003, the record shot to #3 on The Billboard Top 200 chart on the back of the Modern Rock top 40 hit "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" which proceeded to send "On And On" past the platinum mark; he supported the release of his second album with a summer tour with Ben Harper.
Two years later, "In Between Dreams", climbed the North-American Albums charts reaching #3 in Canada and falling just one position short of #1 in the States upon its March 2005 release; "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" peaked at #25 on The Modern Rock Tracks chart and was followed by "Breakdown" a further Modern Rock top 40 entrant.
Jack Johnson didn't monkey around when he was asked to compose the soundtrack for the animated film, "Curious George", the 13-song set peaked at #1 on both The Billboard 200 and the Top Canadian Albums charts; the first single off the CD, "Upside Down", reached #25 on The Modern Rock Tracks and even crossed over into the top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100. The singer+guitarist & songwriter enlisted help from some of his friends to duet with him on the album, he partnered with Ben Harper for a version of Harper's "With My Own Two Hands" and played on "Jungle Gym" with G. Love.

Johnson's latest studio album, "Sleep Through The Static", was released in February 2008; the disc followed suit of its predecessors and quickly ascended to the #1 position in U.S. and Canada producing one Hot Modern Rock top 20 hit in "If I Had Eyes".
