Jack was born poor, as such he has a bit of a working chip on his shoulder. He dislikes people who have been fed from a silver spoon all their lives and finds the nature of them very unbearing. Yet despite this he is also somewhat aloof himself, he is talented, and he knows it all too well. As such he counts himself as better than most of the others, and this is twinned with his refusal to let himself become too close to anyone else. He has burned more bridges than he has ever built and seemingly will continue to do so even though he dislikes the idea of being stuck out on his own.

Jack was born in London, England, however ended up in Beverly Hills High on his way to a University scholarship in America that he would never have received in the UK. Jack’s father wasn't around at his birth, after he found out his mother was pregnant he had skipped town never to be seen again. As such Jack's mother was determined to be a good enough parent for herself and the absentee father. This event also has lead to her refusing to date again, it wasn't that she didn't like men, she just couldn't bring herself to be that vulnerable.
Although Jack's time at a school would be free, his pre school wasn't. As such he used to sit behind the counter at the cafe in which Jack's mother worked. During his early music lessons he found that he was naturally quick at learning to play instruments. His own mother encouraged this as she used to play a broad range of music all the time, from Mozart, to The Rolling Stones and Jay-Z. By the time he was 12 Jack was a guitar prodigy, accomplished on the piano/keyboard and an average drummer. It was then that he joined a music Academy, on a music scholarship, that held the equipment to DJ and create tracks. Now Jack had the real outlet he needed. During his time at the Academy though he got into a number of fights as a small group of fellow students joked and bullied him about his poor back ground. This was where he got his busted lip, after that he managed to claw a few friends and he had an alright time after that. He even managed to get a girlfriend for a short while, however that ended swiftly as he caught her cheating on him at a party. At the age of 15 Jack was forced to take up a part time job to help pay the bills, it wasn't too hard however it took him away from his music, and whilst he never voiced his resentment of this fact, his mother knew it.
Even at the Academy which specialised in music, Jack was special and so he would often do the music for big events and other social events that were run. During an award ceremony he played in a band, giving the winners a track to walk up too and some soft music for people to mingle too after. Another example was the 'Locked In' event where students spent an evening in the building with the hall at their disposal. It ended with a fairly loud Drum and Bass concert from Jack and a fair amount of damage to the hall. During a concert he was headlining at the Academy, he was talent scouted by Beverly Hills High, under the impression he would have a much greater opportunity there than in England. He signed that when he was available he would go and become a student under a scholarship. The High School paid for all his tuition fees, flight costs and room and board. The day Jack flew out was the first time Jack had ever seen his mother cry, they were tears of joy as he reassured her that all the amazing happening were thanks to her strength and passion in raising him right.
