EARLY YEARS & CAREER

Born on 11 October 1991 in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire as a son of a music teacher and a police officer, Jack Garratt grew up in the village of Little Chalfont. While talking about his childhood days he has stated that :

    “I just really enjoyed making noises and really enjoyed the reaction that I got from making those noises. So they [parents] put me on music lessons to encourage me to hone in on that talent rather than show off."

Jack Garratt became familiar with many musical instruments from his childhood days as his mother was a teacher at a primary school. His mother encouraged him to take music lessons and to learn it from the heart rather than just showing off. Following his mother footsteps, he wrote his first song when he was just 12 and began to play various instruments such as piano, drums, guitar, harmonica, and ukulele. He completed his education at the University of Roehampton in London.
