Irish radio station 'LMFM' and former national newspaper of the UK, 'News of the World,' too, publicized the young talent. Jack was also part of a professional recording under 'The Frank Kearns Rockschool' at 'SALT' recording studio, Dublin. By the age of 11, Jack had already begun to upload cover versions of popular songs on his social-media pages.

Jack received worldwide exposure after he participated in the seventh season of the talent competition series ‘BGT’ in 2013. Jack met singer and guitarist Cormac Connell at 'St. Patrick’s Classical School' in Navan, Ireland. The two had participated in a school talent show before auditioning for ‘BGT’ in 2013. In the audition, they performed the 'Of Monsters and Men’ song 'Little Talks.' The duo’s performance was highly appreciated by the judges, and they qualified for the next set of rounds. Furthermore, the video of their audition became viral on 'YouTube.' Currently, their audition video on ‘BGT’s official ‘YouTube’ channel has more than nine million views. Jack and Cormac performed the cover version of the hit track ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ by Taylor Swift in the semifinal round and made their place among the top three contestants on the show. Jack and Cormac competed with comedian Jack Carroll and singer-songwriter Gabz in the semifinals. Unfortunately, Jack and Cormac could not win the competition but garnered immense appreciation for their performances.

Following the show, Jack and Cormac began performing as a duo. They posted their performances on their social-media pages and built an impressive fan base. The duo became active on social-media channels such as 'Twitter,' 'Instagram,' and 'Facebook,' through which they kept their fans updated about their upcoming releases and shows. They also had a website that published everything about the duo and offered signature merchandize for their fans. However, Jack and Cormac parted ways a few years later, to pursue their individual music projects.

In 2016, Jack joined the five-member boy band 'RoadTrip.' He joined the band as a trialist and later became a permanent member. The band is managed by Blair Dreelan, former lead singer of the 1990s boy band ‘East 17' and manager of several world-renowned music artists such as Loren Gray, HRVY, Zach Clayton, Union J, Bars, and Melody.
