Known as "The King of Juke Joint Swing," his performances incorporate jazz, blues, western swing, country and rockabilly, styles of music that he began listening to as a kid.

His influences include Jimmie Rodgers, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams and Hank Snow because they were all in his parents' record collection.

Throughout his childhood, Hancock moved around seven times because his father was a Design engineer who worked at various engineering firms around the United States.

Shortly after discovering country music, Hancock began writing songs at the age of twelve.

From there, Hancock joined the cast and went into the studio to record "Thunderstorms and Neon Signs," for the soundtrack.
