Jack Hody Johnson was born in Honolulu, Havaí, on May 18, 1975 and grew up in the Bay North of Oahu, Havaí. He learned to play the guitar when he was 14 years, he started playing Metallica´s songs.
When participating in a competition of surf, Jack suffered an accident that left him 90 days motionless. During this period he started to compose influenced by his idol Bob Marley. He did not want to be a professional of surf, therefore he decided to study cinema in California when he was 18. Jack Johnson made 2 documentaries, both on surf: “The Broken down Melody” and “September Sessions”. Jack himself composed the sonorous tracks of the documentaries. Influenced by his friend Ben Harper, Jack recorded his first CD ' Brushfire Fairytales' in 2001.
He opened a recorder and after some time, he started to record his own Cds.
Today he has five cds, and in the last one he especially dedicated its songs to his family and to the close friends. His main sucessful songs are: “Flake”, “Taylor” and “Upside Down”.
