Jack Garratt's Industry Insights
Jack Garratt with music students from across Bristol
Music students from across the city recently attended an intimate Q&A session with talented up-and-coming multi-instrumentalist, singer song-writer Jack Garratt - just hours before his sold-out show here at Trinity Centre, Bristol.
Jack's biography states: "Jack combines electric guitar, drum machines, keyboards, and an R&B-friendly falsetto to fashion smooth, club-ready electro-pop. Hailing from Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, England, Garratt started writing songs at the age of 12. When he got his first laptop in his late teens, he began experimenting with more advanced music production, eventually releasing the single "I Couldn't Want You Anyway" in early 2014. It made waves on the Internet, especially in the U.K., and led to festival appearances as well as a sold-out London record-release show later that year for Remnants, his debut EP on Island."
Jack kindly took time out of his busy touring schedule to speak to students, answering questions that covered a wide range of topics. These included the creative process, approaches to song writing, the perils of touring and how to go about establishing a successful career within the modern music industry.
His main piece of advice was simply to enjoy what you do and stay to true to yourself.
Everyone here at Trinity wishes Jack all the best of luck and success with his album release early next year.
