Biography
Titan’s Lounge - The Official J.G. Hackett Website
J.G. Hackett (full name John Hackett, born 5th July 1980) is an English musician, song-writer and singer largely known for his pop/rock work.
Hackett was born and raised in the Black Country but has lived in the Warwickshire town of Nuneaton since his mid-twenties.
His primary instrument is piano, but he is also proficient in Violin and Pipe Organ. Hackett spent much of his childhood playing in ensembles and orchestras but in his adult life has generally worked strictly as a solo artist. He is an avid user and proponent of technology in music creation and as a result, all parts in his recordings are generally played or programmed by him.
Hackett’s work generally features strong production values, with many of his songs having complex and rich arrangements. His vocal work is equally creative, with many songs featuring interweaving and multi tracked vocals. His voice has been characterised as a boyish tenor, although later recordings have seen him take a more experimental approach to vocals with greater expression and more use of the higher and lower parts of his vocal range.
For the most part, Hackett’s lyrics break away from the established rock cliches. Many of his songs explore subjects such as psychology, theology and social concerns. This makes his work unusually thoughtful and brooding in comparison with many artists.
