Jack Johnson (born May 18,
1975), a Hawaii-born singer/songwriter,
has achieved a moderate level of fame since
the release of his 2001 debut album, Brushfire
Fairytales.
Johnson had been a professional
surfer until an accident forced him to take
some time off. He learned to play guitar
at age 14, but did not seriously pursue
a career in the arts until his college years
at University of California at Santa Barbara,
where he graduated with a degree in film.
His music caught the ear of Ben Harper's
producer/manager J.P. Plunier. Plunier pushed
Johnson to record formal demos, eventually
leading to the release of Brushfire Fairytales
in 2001.
After touring for almost two
years, Johnson released his second album,
On and On to generally favorable reviews
in late 2003. Many of the songs on On and
On had previously been released on bootlegs,
such as J.O.A.T. and B.O.A.T., but received
the accompaniment of a full band on the
new album, which included Adam Topol on
drums and Merlo Podlewski on bass guitar
(both these musicians form Johnsons back
up on all his releases).
Johnson's interest in surfing
also led him to produce and score multiple
surfing films; among these September Sessions
and Thicker Than Water were released on
CD/DVD between the release of Brushfire
Fairytales and On and On. Johnson has also
appeared in the surf film Shelter, made
by his manager, Emmett Malloy.
His third studio album, titled
In Between Dreams, was released on March
1, 2008. Though shunned by the likes of
"Rolling Stone" Magazine, Johnson's
latest album continues his tradition of
upbeat acoustic rock that has been a welcome
contrast to much of the angst-ridden hardcore
rock that became popular around the same
time as his ascent to notoriety.

Jack Johnson Rides Wave Of Success,
Maintains Some Anonymity
by Brandee J. Tecson, with additional reporting by Jonathan
Mussman | Wed. March 16.2005
SHERMAN OAKS, California — Jack Johnson is one of
those mellow musicians who actually prefers to fly under
the radar. But with the recent success of his latest release
and a growing fanbase of loyal followers, the former pro
surfer, who grew up riding the Hawaiian pipelines, is fighting
to retain some of his old anonymity.
"To be honest, I feel good where I'm at right now,"
Johnson said during a recent in-store appearance at Tower
Records. "I don't get recognized when I'm on the streets,
but we're still able to draw a crowd and play a show. That's
sort of the perfect balance to me."
Those days of anonymity are bound to be numbered, as the
modest singer's star is rising by the minute. His latest
musical venture, In Between Dreams, landed at #3 on the
Billboard albums chart in its first week, just behind 50
Cent and Jennifer Lopez. It moved up to the #2 spot in its
second week out.
The songwriter, who pens all of his own music, recorded
the bulk of his latest LP in the makeshift studio/garage
right behind his house. "The studio can feel a lot
like a time warp. You get in there sometimes, and you feel
like you're taking a break from your normal life,"
he said. "That could be a good thing for some people,
but I don't want to take a break from my life."
Johnson also recalls the process of making the video for
the album's first single, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing,"
as an unusual experience. "I had to learn the words
backwards," he explained. "[My manager] kept saying
to study it, but I didn't at all. Then on the plane ride
from Hawaii to California, I finally put the headphones
on and I was like, 'Wait a minute, this is impossible. I
can't do this.' "
Although the laid-back singer said he was able to get down
most of the lines, he still ended up reading off cue cards.
"If you watch the video, you'll see my lips get pretty
off in certain parts," he revealed. "It was kind
of crazy, because somebody hits you on the side of the head
with an egg, and you lose your sight for a minute, then
you've got to find out where you are again." The entire
video, which was shot as one continuous take, used no special
effects.
While there are a couple of songs on the new album that
touch on more serious topics, Johnson wanted to make a record
that was more heartwarming than his previous works. "I
was trying to write a record that was mostly love songs
or family songs, about losing people you love and gaining
people you love, and birth and death," he said. "That's
what I was aiming for."
The singer's newfound success has also brought a lot of
attention to the art of surfing, and he admits that the
new interest placed on the sport has an upside. "You
get a lot more people in the water now," he said. "It
was a pretty lopsided, testosterone-driven sport before,
and now you're seeing a lot more girls get into it. It's
a nicer vibe out there in the water."
Unfortunately, this musician won't be doing much surfing
once he embarks on his extensive world tour. Fellow folk-rockers
Matt Costa, Zach Gill and the Animal Liberation Orchestra
will be accompanying Johnson on his spring headlining tour
(see "Jack Johnson Takes His Eco-Obsessive Show On
The Road"), which kicks off in Australia on Thursday.
The singer will have a small break when the tour wraps June
2 in Japan, before commencing his North American leg in
Houston on August 1. The 33-city trek will finish up September
17 in Toronto.
Johnson has also been recording tracks for the "Curious
George" soundtrack (see "Jack Johnson Takes It
Easy On New LP, Gets Into Curious George's Head").
The movie, starring Will Ferrell as the Man in the Yellow
Hat, is slated for a 2008 release.
