Deep house producer and soft rock singer/songwriter Jack J has always managed to find the intersection between indie rock and electronic dance music, transitioning to full-on soft rock by the time of his debut album, 2022's Opening the Door. Born in Australia, he moved to Vancouver, Canada when he is was a teenager. While there he founded Pender Street Steppers alongside Liam Butler. He also launched Mood Hut records in 2012, christening the label with his debut solo release as Jack J titled "Something (On My Mind)." Although rarely revisiting his Jack J persona, he had a breakthrough moment upon releasing "Thirstin" in 2015. Some years later a full-length followed, and he moved away from his deep house roots for a full-on indie/soft rock sound on 2022's Opening the Door.
