[edit] Early career
As a teenager, the only thing that interested him was poetry.“I was writing all the time, it was the thing to do, sit under a tree with a notebook, go somewhere else in your head. I was in the clouds.” When his mother gave him a guitar and suggested he try putting some of his words to music he was “surprised how much more people listen to you when you are singing than if you read a poem,” he admits. “After that, I couldn’t stop, it was constant writing, every day, it became almost a form of conversation, the way I interact with the world.”
Anne Barrett signed Jack in one of the unlikeliest stories. Jack was getting his hair cut, just making conversation, when his hairdresser told him she also cut the hair of Anne Barrett. Then she said ‘Would you like me to give her something?’. He got Invited to the De Angelis management offices, Jack went along with a guitar and no expectations. They signed him on the spot. Anne said, “I knew within minutes of meeting Natalie Imbruglia that she had something about her. I got the same feeling from Jack, he has charisma and soul, he is just one of the most exciting raw talents I have ever come across in this business.”
Savoretti has also done 2 duets with Shelly Poole called Anyday Now and Hope both of which appear on Poole's album Hard Time for the Dreamer.
