Jack Flash is the name used by more than one act, including an English rapper from Huddersfield and an Australian folk-punk band from Toowoomba.

English rapper

The English Jack Flash is a hip-hop artist raised in Huddersfield, an industrial multicultural town in the north of England. He is born in 1986 and begins writing lyrics in his early teens, building a local reputation for taking any available microphone and winning over difficult crowds. His work combines narrative writing and punchlines, and he performs as an MC with a focus on variety as well as consistency.

Music and collaborations

Flash also produces music and performs with the eight-piece live hip-hop group Extra Curricular. Before releasing his own album, he appears on projects by Asaviour, DJIQ and Jehst.

Releases and recognition

He releases his LP The Union Jack Album on Klinik Records in 2008. The record receives positive attention from critics and hip-hop listeners, and the single Intoxicating is described by a Word Magazine writer as hip-hop track of the year. The Metro describes his style as hip-hop with storytelling and wordplay.

Live work and achievements

Flash performs at venues and events from New York to Berlin. In February 2009, he becomes End Of The Weak World Champion. He also serves as the official support act for Ill Bill, Skinnyman and Jehst.

Australian folk-punk band

The other Jack Flash is a folk-punk band from Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. The band releases its debut EP, Take Notice, in 2007.
