About the artist

Stuck In Wonderland
“Passionate, eccentric and obsessed with life”
Patrick Jack is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter;
Having entered the World by Emergency Caesarean because he was folded in half in the womb he started life with quite a performance!
From A young age Patrick became obsessed with performing, dressing up as his favourite Disney villains, stealing his mums net curtains to make into super-mans cape! He could always be found dancing round with his toy microphone in hand! Coming from a family of no artistic background ask to join a performing arts school.
Song writing started very early, weather it was making up new lyrics to his favourite songs (because he thought they could be better!) or putting stories to music! So by the age of seven, music was already Patrick’s escape. Coming from a family where alcohol nearly ruined everything!
Having trouble learning, singing and performing was the one thing Patrick could always get! At the age of Eleven he was bullied for being “different”. He suffered with weight problems at a young age, but thanks to weight watchers shook off 4 and a half stone.
By the age of 16 Patrick had found himself and wanted to take things further and having been studying piano and guitar for a couple of years actually started to get serious about making great music! With no real training of how to write music he accidentally discovered his sound, by playing around with drumbeats, synthesisers, guitars and piano’s he discovered a sound that was his own! The Electro, indie pop boy was born. He saved up and purchased a Apple Mac book, so he could start recording what he was writing, bringing his music to a new level!
Patrick always takes any opportunity to get on stage and perform one way or another, having been involved in endless showcases, comedy nights, plays and musicals as well as constantly gigging.
While studying Patrick worked many different jobs including playing Santa Claus one Christmas, working in one of the cheesiest night clubs in the world “Jumpin Jaks” where every night there would be stage and bar dance routines and outrageous costumes (which he made himself) He also performed at events and functions singing old swing numbers, the kind of music he grew up listening to!
At the age of 19 he went on to study Fashion and costume design at the University of the creative arts for a year and was inspired to make his own costumes for performance and soon after finishing started working as an arts runner for several different TV companies going on many adventures that inspired a lot of songs! He now also works with designers helping create costumes and sets for film and TV.
Inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere, and Patrick is on a mission to find it. Armed with determination, talent and a whole lot of personality Patrick is ready to bring his wonderland to life!
