Jack Mercer, aka VC Pines, is an alternative soul artist who mixes up punk and poetry with a unique eclectic sound. With his latest EP, Skully, he garnered praise from BBC Radio 1 and 6, as well as Daily Star, Spindle, DIY Magazine and many others.

At a very young age, Jack found out he suffered from epilepsy. Instead of surrendering to the illness, he decided to use it as a tool in his creative process. Through his deep and meaningful songs, he talks about modern life’s challenges, self doubt, loneliness and being true to yourself.
