Best musician

Being the son of a famous surfer in the islands, Jeff Johnson,
Jack Johnson naturally had an interest in surfing. He began surfing at
the age of ten and by the time he was seventeen he made the finals at
the Pipe trial and became the youngest invitee ever do so.
Unfortunately, Jack suffered a surfing accident when he was seventeen.
While recovering from the accident, he started taking up an interest in
music. Jack began writing songs during his college years, having played
the guitar since 14. He was brought up with influences such as Nick Drake, Ben Harper, the Beatles, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and A Tribe Called Quest. 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.
It became the first single from the album and Jack sang and played on
the track. His four-track demo caught the ears of Ben Harper's producer
and right-hand man, J.P. Plunier, who worked with Jack on his debut album Brushfire Fairytales in early 2001 with Harper and his lap steel guitar making a guest appearance.
