Jacques was interested in composing music from an early age. He was awarded a scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Music in London,[7] studying trombone and piano, and showed a keen interest in composition in multiple styles including orchestral, jazz and popular music genres. He then attended Wells Cathedral School[8] aged 16 as a Specialist Musician, where he also took up Percussion. In 1994 Jacques graduated with a Batchelor of Arts degree in music from Colchester Institute / University of Essex.[9] He was immediately hired as an in-house composer at Sega Europe.
Jacques went on to compose the BAFTA[15] and Ivor Novello[16] nominated original music for James Bond 007: Blood Stone, which is a big energy score that immerses the audience in a thrilling, cinematic Bond experience. The score received top honours for "Best Original Composition" from the Music and Sound Awards 2012.[17] After this, Jacques composed the music for the Alice In Wonderland game, for Disney in 2010, and LittleBigPlanet 2 for Sony in 2011.
