Jakob (NO)

Jakob prefers to let his music speak for him. Through his music prodigy hailing from Oslo, Norway, uncovers love and the intimacy in human relations in a new and swooning light.

Growing up in a musical household, Jakob’s musical pursuit felt nothing short of natural. Singing from an early age might have aided his musical connection, and the innocence can still be traced in his hazy chords to this day. Yet, Jakob's swaying melodies and distinct vision bare witness of something much grander than childhood lullabies. There’s little doubt that along this early experimentation, Jakob also sport a sense of raw talent that has pop stardom simmering down the line.

Taking inspiration from everything from nature to street walking, Jakob experience the world through the lens of creativity. Merging elements from film, arts and music, his music is nowhere near as introverted as one may expect. Though his 2017 EP debut, “Bedroom tapes”, was indeed made in his room, it still convey that sense of personal development that makes waves far outside the safety of those four walls. Described as the summer’s “shortest but best release” by Norwegian magazine, Subjekt, the EP was definitely a milestone for Jakob.

From summer daze to the more sultry blues that perpetrates the Norwegian autumn, Jakob tends to his sprawling soundscape with an open creative mind. His Eps and singles collectively adds up to a impressing output at 22, and there’s more to come. The DIY artist has not exactly been resting on his laurels since his 2017 breakthrough, ‘All Your Love’.

On his latest creative endeavour, April EP, he once again treads new water. The EP is a searing honest effort, taking the multidimensional emotions of love under the microscope.

Through his music the singer has reached crowds far outside the Norwegian borders and gained him international notoriety. Jakob was getting international media recognitions from the likes of FADER, Nylon and CLASH, all before he’s second EP has even landed. However, it is not only the media that is being sucked into Jakob’s universe. With millions of streams, it seems that Jakob has created an integral connection with his fans.
