“Music is everything to me, but you need other things in your life or there’s nothing to write about.”
That’s Jack McManus speaking. And don’t worry, there’s plenty to write about.
He is someone everyone seems to be getting very hot under the collar about. For different reasons. His songs. His performances. The effect his curly-haired scampish quality has on women. His love life. But more about that later.
For someone who’s still only 25, he’s got a lot on his CV. He’s had a best-selling, self-penned debut album; collaborations with Groove Armada, songs for Boyzone, months spent in LA writing with the likes of Jean Baptiste, of Black Eyed Peas fame and Scott Cutler and Busbee, best known for their work with Katy Perry and Timbaland; a stint in a West End musical; hanging out at school with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Adele and Leona Lewis; a new single he produced himself… See what we mean? Plenty to write about.
“My life’s ambition is to write a song that people are still listening to after 30 years,” he says.
After a stint at the BRIT School, which he chose because the academic side was kept to a minimum, the music side to the max, while his classmates were out pounding streets and trying to get leg ups into “the business”, Jack pretty much locked himself in his room working on songs.
He started doing the rounds of publishers but got a reaction he wasn’t quite expecting: in the course of showcasing songs he’d written to sell to other artists, the publishers he was seeing were all saying he should do the songs himself.
