William Jack is an Australian cellist and songwriter, based in London. He is best known for incorporating his jazz guitar background into an unconventional style of cello playing, with a passion for breaking boundaries between genres and cultures. His music transitions seamlessly from virtuosic folk & bluegrass compositions, to non-Western sound worlds.
Since his classical studies in Vienna, William has forged his own cello pathway, touring Europe, Australia and the UK extensively. He has recently performed his solo compositions from his debut album <a href="spotify:album:6dD8sT3pOznNxJnsFLG2hF" data-name="This Old Cello Box">This Old Cello Box</a> live on BBC Radio 3 at the Edinburgh Fringe, and was selected to perform as a ‘New Folk’ songwriter at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. He has been fortunate to work with numerous world-renowned artists, both as a session musician and collaborator. William is passionate about redefining the possibilities of the cello and bringing the instrument into new territories.
2024 marks the release of Will’s second album from his collection of instrumental works for solo cello. This Old Cello Box, Vol.2 is tailored for audiences of all backgrounds to experience the true capabilities of the cello outside of its usual pigeonhole. Each track hits differently, with decipherable elements of blues and bluegrass, to Tchaikovsky and world folk. An album enriched in traditions, but not encumbered by them.
