JACK JOHNSON :)

I decided to make this weeks post on the one and only Jack Johnson. If you have heard his music it is incredibly relaxing and can easily put a smile on anyones face. Jack Johnson is 32 years old and was born in Oahu, Hawaii. Johnson started out as a professional surfer until he got into a bad accident at Pipeline losing all of his front teeth, needing 115 stitches.

This led him to pick up songwriting which was one of the smartest moves he could have made. He realeased his first album in 2001 topping the charts in New Zealand and Austrailia. Two years later he released another which was number one in New Zealand, number two in Austrailia and number three on the charts in the US. His popularity continuted to grow in great amounts with each record. By his third he was realising them under his own label, Brushfire Records. His most current record, his fifth, was number one on the charts in the US, Austrailia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand.

Johnsons also headlinging this year at Bonnaroo in Tennesee.
TRIP I WOULD LOVEE TO MAKE!

What makes Johnson so appealing is that he can pull off some legendary songs and still have people find them enjoyable. He has recorded versions of certain Bob Marley and Sublime songs.
Here are some songs he is most famous for:

If you have yet to jump on the bandwagon, download some of his music ASAP, you will not regret it.
