Jack and Jack are a musical duo who started off as just being best friends. Jack Gilinsky and Jack Johnson are both from Omaha, Nebraska. They are both 23 years old and both now reside in Los Angeles, California.

I have known about Jack and Jack for a pretty long time. They became popular off of the now shutdown app Vine. The duo would post short clips, about 6 seconds, of them singing and sometimes just funny clips. The gained popularity quickly among young teenage girls. They then became part of the group Magcon while I was in middle school. Magcon was a group comprised of internet/ social media start who travel and tour to put on shows all over the country. They were really only known by young girls however, as many adults had no idea about this phenomena. However, Jack and Jack left Magcon in order to pursue their music career in Los Angeles.

Personally, after they left Magcon I had heard little about the music duo except that Jack Gilinsky was dating fellow singer, Madison Beer until they broke up in 2017. Then in early 2019, I heard their song No One Compares To You.”  I instanced try took a liking to the song due to it’s upbeat and summery feel. Their background music is an electric kind of style but it is still a calm kind of song, hard to explain in words I guess, This song is from their album A Good Friend is Nice, which I think is a pretty unique name for an album, but hey whatever works! On this album they even collaborated with Jonas Blue, another up and coming musical group (which I happen to like a lot also). A lot of jack and Jack’s music is about failed relationship, heartbreak. and how they have learned from these experiences.

What I appreciate the most about these two is that they are truly best friends doing what they love. It is easy for anyone to tell that their passion for what they do is authentic. They are so relatable for everyone who has a best friend and they get to do what all best friends wish they could do; work together! I wish I could tour the world and do it all with my best friend They even describe each other as “Two of a kind”.  There is no new information on their next single release but I can not wait til there is!
