Early life
As a multi-instrumentalist, Jacob has been involved in many bands since his early teenage years – starting out in jazz but soon moving on to death metal and folk.[2] His style is notable for transcending genres, particularly dubstep.[3] His original work, remixes and productions combine elements of syncopated organic percussion, classical piano, sub bass and cinematic orchestral soundscapes.
2009–present: Mainstream success
In 2009, Jacob won acclaim in the blog world for his bootleg of Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed".[4] In November 2009, he was given his first airplay on national radio when his remix of Ellie Goulding's "Under the Sheets" was played on BBC Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record in the World'. (A title which has since been given to "Electrify" and "Please Ft. Kano".)[5]
Jakwob released his debut single "Here with Me" on his own label, Boom Ting Recordings on 13 September 2010.[6]
