Singer-songwriter, Jack Conway has returned with a stunning follow-up track, “Wreckless Love (Acoustic)” which explains the story of an unbreakable bond between two people – and just how strong of a force love can be, especially once you meet that person who metaphorically ignites your soul.
Jack Conway is a 25-year-old Singer/Songwriter from Indiana. Growing up in a sports-oriented family, he didn’t begin songwriting until he was 19 years of age. He draws influences from artists like John Mayer, Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes and the Jonas Brothers – whilst crafting his own constructed melodies loaded with distinct and heartwarming lyrics, alongside a copious variety of infectious arrangements that are enough to draw anyone in.
Tell us about the genesis of your project. How did you get to where you are now?
People only hear the final result, and don’t see the years of practicing, writing shitty songs & failing. This project came about through the course of this year. I’ve been working with many talented songwriters to hone in more of the sound I want to convey, as well as taking over all of the production myself. It’s been a journey of love, heartbreak, long nights, lots of failure and excitement.
What does music and being an artist mean to you?
Music to me is a way to communicate my life experiences and journey. As an artist, I get to be a storyteller and tell the narrative how I want to. It’s a very powerful position to be in that also gives you a lot of responsibility to communicate in the right way.
What are some sources of inspiration for your lyrics and storytelling?
I honestly just take my life day by day & try to be as vulnerable as possible. I never trade the truth for a rhyme. Of course I look at other artists and songs, but it’s all got to come back and relate to me at a core level.
Who is an artist that you look up to more than others today?
I’ve always looked up to Jon Bellion. His craft from songwriting to production is absolutely iconic. While I don’t know him, I can imagine we’d be friends/get along well just based on his persona and how he seems to view the world/treat others.
All time favorite record?

Tell us about your latest release and how it came about
Wreckless Love is a song I actually wrote some time ago and it was a concept I made up in my head, to be completely honest. I’m a hopeless romantic haha, and I’ve always wanted to have a “firework” type love that lasts no matter what the circumstance is.
I did pull inspiration from a breakup and a girl told me that she didn’t wanna come off like my ex, so there is truth behind it. Also, I love the movie “Wreck-It Ralph” so that also inspired the title.
You seem to be fusing several musical genres. What inspires your sound?
I listened to a lot of Linkin Park growing up, as well as The Fray and John Mayer. Over the years I have started to listen to more pop music like Lauv, Jon Bellion, Kygo, JP Saxe, Jonas Brothers, and so on. I pull from all of them. I’m a songwriter. For production wise, I try to compliment the song as best as possible and if that means an upbeat pop tune or an acoustic piano, then that’s how I communicate.
What are some things you do to deal with anxiety and creative blocks?
Keep going.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don’t know where I see myself tomorrow. I’m grateful for today 🙂 loving life, giving my best and working on music will always be.
Your style is very original and elaborate. How do you take care of your aesthetics?
just give as much of myself as possible. We live in a social media age that has become fake. People crave Vulnerability and love… that’s all I want to give.
What was the most daunting moment in your career so far?
Putting out my song where I produced, mixed, mastered & wrote it all myself…which was “Unexpected”.
What is the best advice you’ve ever gotten?
You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be curious enough to find them.
Where do you think the next game changer will be in the music industry and entertainment scene?
Haha well, NFTs might play a role? But, I think the internet will continue to change the music industry, but great music will always win & real musicians are going to come back vs. this generation of over auto tuned Tik-Tokers (all love though!)
