At the age of 21, Jack has already composed for the Royal Opera House, the Royal Philharmonic Society and Classic FM - moreover, before he'd reached the age of 18, he'd worked alongside some of the world's greatest conductors, including Sir Antonio Pappano, Vasily Petrenko and Kirill Karabits.

Despite being an extremely talented composer of both pop and jazz music, it's the classical genre where Jack's interests truly lie. This passion, coupled with his desire to educate on a subject he knows so much about is particularly apparent in Musical Minds, the radio show he hosts on Resonance FM, as well as his columns and reviews within publications such as the BBC Music Magazine, Musical Opinion, Opera and Opera Today.

More recently, Jack's been drafted in by Bauer, to present on their new classically focused radio station, Scala FM. Using his unique concoction of youth, intelligence, talent and enviable experience, Jack is determined to bring the whimsical world of classical music to all.
