SoundClick artist: Jack Styles - Simple and yet resounding folk tunes with subtle themes of peace and understanding.

Philosophy in its simplest form. Influence doesn't happen with guns blazing, but instead with a smile and a tune. My goal is not only to express myself with music, but also to connect with people while performing it. By the way, if you choose to hear any of my songs, be kind and drop a line at the message board with comments (good or bad).

Why this name?

I want to be open to different ways of playing music. I'll play a harmonic little tune and have people clapping, then come out of left field and surprise them with something they've never heard before.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It's a great way to fight back at the corrupt labels that prevent progress in the music industry simply because Britney Spears or N'SYNC will get them more money.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Hell yes. It might be hypocritical, but most people who say they'd decline are just being untrue to themselves.
