In the last six months, 22-year old Londoner Jack Pe�ate has made quite a name for himself. No shirker, he�s done most the hard work himself by regularly posting songs online and playing feverish live sets all over the country, resulting in him firmly positioning himself at the very forefront of the new wave of British music.
�
Word of mouth has spread far and wide � he�s all over the internet, recently featured in the Babyshambles & Friends video, has supported Larrikin Love, Jamie T and Lily Allen and already appeared in magazines like Dazed & Confused, i-D and Dummy - not bad for someone who hadn�t actually released a record.
�
The most British of voices, Jack�s finally released music on the world at the tail end of 2006.� Released on burgeoning label, Young Turks (born out of the eminent London club night of the same name), Jack set his stall out for future greatness with �Second, Minute or Hour�, a killer track that picked up huge support on Radio One (even though only a thousand copies on vinyl�were pressed, that didn't stop Jo Whiley making it her �Single of the Week� and Zane Lowe declaring it to be the �Hottest Record in the World� three times!).
�
For someone so early in his career, his pop knack is already more than evident and 2007 looks like it�s going to be quite a year for him. He�s currently recording his debut album and it could even be on the shelves in time for summer�
