艺人资料
Jack Savoretti出生于1983年10月10日,英国民谣歌手。Jack Savoretti的声音朴实、真切,有些沙哑却很有穿透力,有些伤感有些孤僻,不过调子却很明亮,那么纯粹,浑然天成。
有一半英国血统和一半意大利血统的Jack Savoretti从小就跟着父母在欧洲四处迁徙,直到在瑞士的一家美国子弟学校落脚,在那,小Jack染上了一口美国口音,为这还被人取笑为“Transatlantic Mutt”。 Jack喜欢上了写诗,这几乎成了他每天必做的事,如果就这么写下去,也许这世界上就多了一个美国口音的欧洲诗人。Jack16岁的时候,他妈妈给了他一把吉他,并建议他将自己写的诗放到音乐里,从此Jack Savoretti欲罢不能,一个诗人意外的成了唱作人。
在一次理发时,Jack幸运的遇到了给Natalie Imbruglia的前任经理人Anne Barrett理过发的发型师,这位发型师帮忙拿了一些Jack Savoretti的作品给Anne Barrett。接着,Jack Savoretti就背着吉他来到了Anne Barrett开的唱片公司De Angelis,并立刻成为旗下签约歌手,2006年10月推出了他的首张单曲《Without》。
之后又推出了第二张EP《Dreamers》,接下来就有了第一张专辑《Between the Minds》。 这张专辑上市的当周就被BBC Radio 2推荐为本周专辑,随后Corinne Bailey Rae也注意到了这位混血帅哥,盛情邀请他担任自己欧洲巡回演出的嘉宾。
