Jack Daniel Ward

With 32 years of life experience at your service, Jack is the CEO of OUT MUSIC GROUP LTD and the head of its Management Division.

Diagnosed with autism at the age of 9, Jack’s unique journey began with a passion for psychology, personal development, hypnosis, and neuro linguistic programming (NLP), inspired by his godfather David Shephard, a leading figure in the field. He became the first UK student to transition from specialist education back into mainstream schooling, paving the way for future autistic students.

David Shephard recalls, 'I first met Jack when he was 7 years old when he introduced himself as god! I later worked with Jack when he was about 11 when he wanted to overcome the symptoms of dyslexia and autism. As a result, he successfully secured a place at a “normal” school. Whatever that is!'

Musical Apprenticeship

Jack’s musical journey started before birth, with Whitesnake’s David Coverdale serenading his mother’s baby bump. As a child, Jack toured alongside his mother and father and witnessed legends such as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, The Everly Brothers, and Louise Redknap from the wings of stages.

In 2005, Jack experienced a life-defining moment when he joined Hank Marvin, Cliff Hall, Mark Griffiths, and legendary music manager Ed Bicknell on stage during a soundcheck for The Shadows – The Final Final Tour at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, playing the song Apache on guitar.

In 2006, Jack performed a cover of Children of the Revolution as the opening act for Richard Gower from the 1970s band Racey.

When Madeleine McCann went missing in Portugal, Jack collaborated with Dylan Burns from the band Bodyrockers, recording a song titled My Star at Dylan’s home studio in Kensington, London.
