Jack Moves got his start in late 2014. A Member of Toronto metal groups Godstopper and Ayahuasca and a former member of hardcore act Column of Heaven, he had grown tired of working within the limits of heavy music, and so decided to strike out on his own.
 
Inspired by live looping performances of Reggie Watts, Jack started busking at the corner of Queen and Spadina in downtown Toronto. As a one-man band with a captivating and crowd-pleasing live show, he quickly started playing a wide variety of venues, from clubs to parties to tattoo shops to Portuguese restaurants; sharing the stage with hip hop artists, electronic producers (he is the host and DJ for the monthly concert series “Frequencies”), metal and post-hardcore bands, and many others. HE ALSO RAN A WEEKLY-UPDATED YOUTUBE CHANNEL FROM 2015-2017.   
 
With his first EP, I Go to Work, Jack distilled his live show, which at the time involved  him creating all the music live, using just his voice and a looping pedal. HIS FIRST FULL EAST-COAST CANADIAN TOUR FOLLOWED.
​
THEN, IN 2017 JACK EMERGED WITH A NEW EP, I BEEN WORKING. IT SHOWCASED AN EXPANSION OF HIS PALETTE, WHICH NOW INCLUDED A FAR VASTER ARRAY OF ELECTRONIC SOUNDS. VOCAL-BASED LIVE LOOPING, ALTHOUGH NOT AS PROMINENT IN HIS RECORDED OUTPUT GOING FORWARD, REMAINS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN HIS LIVE SHOW.
​
speaking of shows, jack followed up the release with a spring tour of europe that saw him travel across ten countries, and an another east coast tour with fellow weirdo SOLO ACT/MC, garbageface. A few successful singles followed, SHOWCASING jack's trademark diversity...80's-influenced melodies here ("demon eyes"), demented choral parts there ("moment of your time"), and straight up hip hop bars over there ("EMILIA"). a return visit to europe saw him further solidify his fan base abroad.
