Jack Johnson
Jack Hody Johnson originates from Hawaii and has become one of the most celebrated and commercially successful singers of his times. He is been labeled as one of the most brilliant acoustic and soft rock singers originating from the eastern coastal lines of America. He was grown himself into a well established songwriter, musician and even filmmaker. He has also sings his own songs and has released his first debut album "Brushfire Fairytales" in 2001.

As the norm of Hawaii, Jack Hody Johnson fell in love with surfing at a very early age and adapted his love as a professional in his later years of life. Another primal reason for his passion for surfing was his father Jeff Johnson who is claimed to be one of the most talented surfers in the islands. At the early age of17, Jack made the finals at the Pipe trial and became the youngest invitee ever to do so.

Jack Johnson finally fell in love with another passionate perspective after his sudden and deadly escape in surfing during the same year he entered into the finals at the Pipe Trials. An accident in which his entire front teeth were knocked out and his body sealed with 150 stitches. During his absence from surfing and recovering from the accident, he acquired an interest in music.

This passion for music grew throughout his teen years and also during his college years at the University of California at Santa Barbara. While in school, he met his wife Kim, for whom the song Do You Remember is written. Johnson also played rhythm guitar for the party band "Soil" and graduated with a degree in film.

His era of song writers was spectacular and gave him the legions of heroes required to take on the paths of music. He was brought up with influences such as Nick Drake, Cat Stevens, Ben Harper, the Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Sublime, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Professional Entry into the World of Music
Jack Johnson kept his love for music and surfing at par and enjoyed combing the two as a socializing event. One day G. Love was introduced to Jack for a day of surfing and ended up recording Jack's song "Rodeo Clowns" for his last album Philadelphonic. The song got the interest of J.P. Plunier who was the producer and close associate of Ben Harper. J.P Plunier had already known Jack from his "Brushfire Fairytale" album in early 2001.

The September Sessions
Jack Johnson used his talents of movie making, surfing and music to produce one of the most splendid and surreal documentaries regarding surfing in 1999. The documentary is shot on 16mm film-stock. Whereas the color palette is tweaked for a better and more enthralling visual experience, this is one of the most evocative surfing documentaries to have emerged in years.

The documentary contains some of the rarest and astonishing clips of surfing in the entire peninsula. His friends have assisted him in filming their adventures in riding some of the ocean's most glorious ?tubes'. What makes this movie a must see is the breathtaking view points of surfing events and the climatic acoustic sounds behind the images.

The film's final languid moments unravel to one of Johnson's own sublime compositions, ?F-Stop Blues'; it's an emotionally satisfying end to this unpretentious gem of a film. The amalgamation of professional surfing and the acoustic sounds of a man who has breathed into the waters of the profession has a profound impact of the audience. The documentary is called "The September Sessions" and is available at www.jackjohnsonmusic.com
