Jack Hody Johnson (born May 18, 1975)is a Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter, musician, filmmaker,and surfer who has achieved commercial success and a dedicated following, after the release of his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. He has since released five more albums and a number of EPs. His music is best described as acoustic soft rock.

Johnson was born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The son of famous surfer Jeff Johnson, he naturally took an interest in the sport, along with his best friend Ben Schomer. He began surfing and skating at the age of 5 under the tutelage of his father’s best friends, Alex Conel and Sumner Bukoski, and at 17 he became the youngest invitee to make the surfing finals at the Pipeline Masters at Sunset Beach on Oahu, though he was eventually disqualified after failing to catch three waves. One week later, however, his brief stint as a professional surfer ended when he suffered a surfing accident at Pipeline. He needed almost 150 stitches. He stated about the accident, "I like to joke that I hit my head so hard that that’s why I’m so mellow, but I think it did mellow me out."

Johnson met his wife Kim while attending UC Santa Barbara, and the songs "Bubble Toes" and "Do You Remember" were written for her. They have two sons.
