Biography

In many ways, Jack Penate is Lily Allen minus the sarcasm and the party frocks. The South Londoner's music is slick, radio-ready pop, but its heart is rooted in the Two-Tone ska revival and the more soulful end of '80s pop, along the lines of the Style Council and the Housemartins.

Jack Fabian Penate (being of Spanish descent, his surname is pronounced "Pen -- yah -- TAY," not "Pen -- ate") was born in Blackheath, a fairly posh London suburb, on September 9, 1984.
