He was a competitive surfer in his teens (qualifying for the Pipeline Masters at age 17) before a serious surfing accident at the Pipeline at age 17 redirected his focus. He attended UC Santa Barbara, where he studied film. His debut album Brushfire Fairytales (2001) was produced by J.P. Plunier and engineered by Mario Caldato Jr. He has continued releasing material on his own Brushfire Records (which has also released Donavon Frankenreiter, Animal Liberation Orchestra, and Matt Costa). He also produced the soundtrack for the Curious George (2006) film and has been involved in environmental activism, with the Kōkua Hawaii Foundation supporting environmental education in Hawaii.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Johnson's sound combines surf rock, acoustic rock, folk rock, soft rock, and singer-songwriter with intimate vocal delivery, fingerpicked acoustic guitar work, and laid-back arrangements drawing on classic California folk-rock and surf reference points.
