About

Everyone has a past, I struggled with mental health and addiction . My name is Jake I use music to tell my story. Music is my therapy, my hope is that you would find healing or inspiration in my music. I love so many things about music I find myself infusing different styles into my sound using hints of blues, jazz, rock, and pop to cultivate a contemporary style that feels authentic to me. I have many influences from The Glorious Sons, Kings of Leon, The Fray and inspired musically by Phil Collins growing up. After I release my debut single, Still Hope I was nominated for New Comer of the Year at the Capitol City Music Awards in 2023. This song was then featured on CBC/IRC Quebec leading up to the Awards show highlighting my work as a mental health and addiction advocate. Using my online presence and music to share my message. I'll continue working hard to achieve success, hope you'll come along for the journey.
