Birmingham DJ Jack has been mixing it up since he was just six
12-year-old former Great Barr schoolboy is a master of decknology and has performed in Benidorm, Germany and Italy
Jack Hill is a big name in clubbing - and he's only 12
Young Jack Hill's pals think he's as famous as Justin Bieber – and his six Guinness World Records prove he is no ordinary schoolboy.
The former Great Barr lad has been recognised as the world’s youngest DJ and is listed in five other categories for his skills behind the decks, including his latest accolade as youngest producer.
World bests aren’t the only records loved by the 12-year-old twin, who now lives in Weston-Super-Mare.
He’s appeared on TV and radio, produced his own songs and performed across the continent at gigs.
His new release Club Shaker has just been issued and Jack is hoping it will gain even more success than his previous hit Club DJ, which was a best-seller locally and got into the Top 20 national electronica lists.
Jack, whose twin is Harry, began mixing when he was just six.
He’s had his own Sunday morning radio show on Nova FM in Somerset for the past four years and has performed in Benidorm, Germany and Italy with more gigs lined up for Turkey and Spain this summer.
He even headlined at the ICC in Birmingham last July when he triumphed in a competition run by satellite TV channel Nickelodeon.
Dad Bob, himself a former DJ at venues across Birmingham, said he was so proud of his son.
“Jack is moving away from live gigs now and is concentrating more on the producing and radio side of the business – but we always make sure he never does anything that might affect his school work,” said Bob.
“It’s wonderful that he is officially recognised as the world’s youngest disc jockey.”
[...]
Jack, who loves dubstep and dance music, wants to emulate global mix stars Tiesto and David Guetta.
He was even contacted by Dutch musician and producer Tiesto when he won his latest award.
“Tiesto is his favourite and Jack was gobsmacked when he contacted him to offer his congratulations.
“He told Jack he was watching his career closely and we hope they can perform together at some stage,” added Bob, a former Birmingham City Council building inspector.
“However, I don’t think Justin Bieber's his cup of tea. Jack is too well-behaved!”
Jack's records
* World’s Youngest DJ when he was six.
* World’s Youngest Club DJ at seven.
* Youngest Male Radio Presenter awarded when he was just eight.
* Recognised as Most Successful Young DJ aged 10.
* Youngest DJ to Beatmix 10 songs in one minute when he was 11.
* World's Youngest Record Producer awarded aged 12.

The Center For Science In The Public Interest Targets Nickelodeon In New Advert Starring SpongeBob SquarePants
The US television industry news blog on the official website of the British national daily newspaper The Guardian is reporting in the following article that the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit watchdog and consumer advocacy group focusing on nutritional education and awareness, has started to target Nickelodeon in their latest campaign, which uses Nickelodeon Superstar SpongeBob SquarePants as face of the new advertisement:
Spongebob scapegoat: nonprofit group targets Nickelodeon in new campaign
Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit that advocates healthy eating, uses Spongebob as face of new ad
Gone is the toothy grin and sunny demeanour. Instead, bloodshot eyes stare out in a mugshot that will have SpongeBob fans fearing that he has succumbed to the vices that all too often go with international stardom.
But the usual temptations of drink, drugs and hard living appear not to be to blame, even if such things exist in Bikini Bottom. Rather, according to nutritionists who want to put SpongeBob, pictured, in the dock as a bad example for children, fizzy drinks and unhealthy snack foods are the real cause of the submariner's apparent decline.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has launched a campaign against the kids' TV channel Nickelodeon, which it accuses of "impersonating a responsible media company while aggressively marketing obesity to kids". And SpongeBob is the main target. In a full-page ad which ran in the Hollywood Reporter on Friday, the cartoon character is depicted under a "Wanted" notice.
The ad is the latest salvo by CSPI, a nonprofit organisation that advocates healthy eating and public policies consistent with scientific evidence.
It accuses Nickelodeon of failing to set nutritional standards governing which foods it will advertise.
Noting that rival Disney already bans ads from certain unhealthy foods, CSPI nutrition policy director Margo Wootan said: "Nickelodeon prides itself on responsible programming for children, but what about its advertising Nickelodeon is lagging behind companies like Disney when it comes to supporting parents and protecting kids from junk-food marketing."
Continuing the comparison between the two children's programme makers, the CSPI notes that Goofy, the Disney character, appears on packaging for a snack pack that includes cherry tomatoes, carrots and celery sticks. Spongebob, by way of contrast, endorses a Popsicle that is made up of water, several forms of sugar and a long list of artificial dyes and preservatives, CSPI said.
Other charges laid against Nickelodeon include allowing the makers of Cocoa Puffs and Air Head candies to advertise in ad breaks, along with Chuck E Cheese restaurants.
In a statement, Nickelodeon defend its record on children's health, saying that "virtually all" its advertisers had signed up to the children's food and beverage advertising initiatives which promotes healthier diet choices.
"Nickelodeon has long demonstrated its full commitment to moving the needle against childhood obesity, including devoting airtime to health and wellness messaging; partnerships with Let's Move and many others; the Worldwide Day of Play initiative which is now in its landmark 10th year; and integrated licensing and marketing partnerships for healthy categories like Birdseye Vegetables, as just one example among many others," the statement said.
