British artist-producer Jack Garratt could not have wished
for a better introduction. The sharp young newcomer started 2015 as highly
touted as he now looks to be concluding it, and with the announcement of his
self-written, self-performed, self-recorded, and largely self-produced debut
album now readied, that heat looks set to reach fever pitch ahead of its
February release. Drawing the dots between significant moments, and landmark
events of this fledgling career would already become a headache - the young
Buckinghamshire artist has achieved more than he has any right to, from
bringing the house down at Radio 1's Future Festival back in January, selling
out each and every UK and US show he's played to ever expansive rooms, through
to being crowned BBC Introducing's Artist of the Year at their annual televised
awards ceremony this December. The scrapbook is bursting and that's just volume
one. Not bad for a guy who tends to do it all by himself. Maybe the humble
'bedroom producer' tag needs an update. Truth be told, Jack wasn't even sure
music was a legitimate pursuit, and was already training to become a primary
school music teacher when he dropped it all for those drums sticks, pads and
keys. It's been a move none shrewder.
