Jack Freeman

Amid R&B's continued evolution in sound and style, the demand for voices like
Jack Freeman's is indicative of the genre's traditional aspects being alive and
well. A native of Houston, Texas, Freeman has made it his mission to "make good
music and tell the truth," a mantra that's earned the 33-year-old singer-songwriter
a devoted following throughout his career. Raised in a musical household,
Freeman was exposed to an array of genres as a youth, first showcasing his
talents during a brief stint as a member of his church choir. However, the former
high school football star would attend the University Texas El-Paso on an athletic
scholarship, putting his ambitions as an entertainer on hold. Transferring to
Prairie View A&M University following his sophomore year, Freeman slowly
rediscovered his love for creating and performing. Penning hooks and appearing
on songs by local artists, Freeman's growing popularity would prompt him to take
leave from school to dedicate his focus to his craft. Releasing his debut
album, Lynnie Free's Juke Joint, independently in 2011, Freeman would further
establish himself as a performer after opening for gospel singer PJ Morton the
following year. Return
