從小在夏威夷長大，Jack Johnson會走路的時候也會沖浪，17歲的時候他已經是沖浪界的天才，以最年輕的年紀揚名于世界級沖浪大賽(Pipeline Masters)，正當體壇將他鎖定成海灘明日之星，比賽后一個月，Jack Johnson在沖浪時發生嚴重意外，臉上縫了150針，讓他整整三個月無法出門，卻也給了他三個月抱著吉他、創作音樂的時光；但是Jack Johnson并沒有一股作氣成為創作歌手，18歲的他選擇到加州大學念電影，99年導演并且擔任電影配樂完成了沖浪電影《Thicker Than Water》，初執導演筒的他，贏得各影展最佳導演等大獎，眼見著Jack Johnson就要加入電影界，新的一波浪潮卻迎面來襲；杰克自彈自唱的歌曲，早期就被沖浪巨星們作成卡帶復制流傳，2005年的今天，Jack Johnson，這個海灘男孩，不只是沖浪天才、不只是得獎導演、他是全球銷量300萬張的創作才子。

Truth has found plenty of room to breathe in each of Jack's albums (and in all of his work, from surfing films to his non-profit, the Kokua Hawaii Foundation), and here with his brothers in music - Adam Topol (drums), Merlo Podlewski (bass), and Zach Gill (piano and melodica) - he's on a journey to the centre of himself, and to all of us. Jack's 5th studio album - the aptly titled 'TO THE SEA' was produced by Robert Carranza & Jack Johnson, and features guest appearances from G. Love and Paula Fuga. The album was recorded at the Mango Tree Studio in Hawaii, and the Solar Powered Plastic Plant in LA using 100% Solar Power, and all album packaging utilizes FSC certified recycled papers.
