A toast to the voice of Jack Savoretti

Of his 42 years of life, 20 were spent making music. Jack Savoretti has announced a date at the Fabrique in Milan, October 15, 2026, to celebrate the twenty year career. At the Royal Albert Hall in “his” London it was sold out within an hour of sales opening: an affection that rewards a journey made of experiences, stylistic choices and artistic maturation of a special artist.

Born in London on 10 October 1983 to an Italian father and a German-Polish mother, Savoretti grew up in a multicultural environment: England, Switzerland (where he studies) and Italy; roots that will also mark his writing and the themes of his music. From a very young age he shows penchant for poetryand it will be his mother – a former model who had frequented musicians and rock circles in the 60s and 70s – who suggested he pick up the guitar and translate words into music. His recording debut took place in 2006 with the single “Without”, which preceded his debut album “Between the Minds” by a year. The rough voice, the poetic lyrics and the dialogue between English and Italian immediately conquer the hearts of the audience.

As the years pass, Jack isn’t content to stay within the confines of acoustic folk. The subsequent albums make a mark progressions in writingmore ambitious collaborations and a greater awareness of their own sound. The 2015 album “Written in Scars” is the first important leap in quality in terms of production and popularity. In 2016, with “Sleep No More” he built a more adult concept, rich in orchestrations, darker atmospheres; then, if we want to find a sort of “consecration”, we could point to “Singing to Strangers”, a record partly recorded in the Abbey Road studios which debuted at number one in the charts in the United Kingdom. Now it’s a reference artist on the international scene and he demonstrates it with “Europiana” (2021), an ambitious idea that combines European elegance (with Italian-French-Mediterranean references) and important collaborations (including Nile Rodgers); this also reaches the top of the British charts.

“Europiana” highlights one of Savoretti’s most interesting notes, namely his own dual identity: on the one hand the English aplomb, the Anglo-Saxon songwriting; on the other the Italian, visceral and romantic component, which emerges in the lyrics, in the melodic sensitivity and in the cultural references. He is an artist who transmits genuineness, who sings without filters: there is no clear dividing line between the Jack on stage and the Jack in private life. His musical career is intertwined withphilanthropist activity in favor of social and environmental causes: he is ambassador of War Child, a non-governmental organization that helps children in conflict zones, and of Tusk Trust, an NGO that deals with environmental conservation in Africa. A commitment that is inevitably part of the solid and coherent image built over the years.

The first step towards the 20-year career celebration is the release of the single “Do It For Love“, written in collaboration with his long-time friend Miles Kane and characterized by a jazz noir atmosphere, demonstrating the desire to continue to range between various genres and sounds. From acoustic folk to orchestrated pop, from English to Italian: Jack Savoretti can afford to shed skin like a chameleon continuously, because it is in his poetic desire to let himself be guided by the wind – and in that voice that only he can bring out – that all his beauty lies.
