Background and Career Beginings...
Jack Tolhurst is a singer/songwriter. He grew up in Knowl Hill a village just off from Reading. He grew up with his Dad, a carpenter and his two older sisters. Jack discovered his love for music at a very young age, and learnt to play guitar when he was 7 years old. He attended coxgreen secondary school, but found it hard to focus on anything else but his music. He was spending all his spare time and all his money on going to London to desprately try and persue his music career. At the begining of last year he left School, not continuing on to do A-levels, and worked hard on getting a chance within the music industry.
Tolhurst began music recording two years ago using his own equipment he had bought himself using the money he had saved from his saturday job in their local bakery. It wasn't un-till he had played a random gig in London and was spotted by Jamie Foxx who was in London for business. Jamie Fox was so impressed by Tolhurst he offered him the use of his recording studio. Throughout 2013 Tolhurst became more and more recognised and talked about through YouTube and his fan base grew. He is now signed to Asylum/Atlantic Records.

In february 2014, he is set to release his first Album "Cloudy". Cloudy is his 5th song on the album, and the song he says is where it personally all began Cloudy is a song Tolhurst wrote when he was 15. He say's its a song that explains how he felt about everything else compared to music. Eerything else felt cloudy to him, blocked and dull. It was only music that lit him up, that focused him. Music was his soul and ambtion. Tolhurst said he chose to name his Album 'Cloudy' because of the meaning and background of the song but also because he said he doesnt want to be one of these cliche artists whose songs are all about girls, or their Album name is a really obvious stereotypical one for a young male artist entering the indie-pop genre of the music industry.
