Since his first audition on Australia’s Got Talent, Jack quickly became the most talked about kid in the country. He made global headlines with his standout performance of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing which has had in excess of 1.5 million views worldwide on You Tube.
It was this debut performance that left the judges speechless and audiences stunned by his incredible voice. Jack immediately became a real contender to take out the whole competition.
Following on from his stand out audition, Jack captivated audiences all over Australia with his amazing voice singing yet again a big ballad, this time from the Dreamgirls Soundtrack, And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going.
The semi finals saw Jack live up to all expectations when he floored the judges again with his smart song choice by the world’s biggest female artist right now, Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain. This performance cemented Jack as a performer who exudes confidence with his own style and commanded yet another a standing ovation and confirmed his place in the hearts of the country.
Jack’s debut album will feature all of his favourite hits including the tracks I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston, Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain and from the Dreamgirls Soundtrack, And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going, all of which were highlights from the 2011 Australia’s Got Talent series along with 2 tracks that Jack co-wrote including his debut single, YES I AM, which he performed on the Grand Final show.
Hailing from the Sydney’s northern beaches, Jack was always determined to perform. Starting at the very tender age of 3, it wasn’t until 11 years later that Australia got a taste of his truly magical talent when he stepped on to the stage at this year’s Australia’s Got Talent auditions.
