Early life

Jacob began making music aged 10. As a multi-instrumentalist, he 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, he shot to fame after appreciation 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".)[5]

Jakwob released his debut single "Here with Me" on his own label, Boom Ting Recordings on 13 September 2010.[6]

gollark: No, I mean it's irrelevant because bringing up one person doesn't actually make a claim true for everyone ever.
gollark: I assume this is meant as an insult, but it's irrelevant to your point anyway.
gollark: Also, are you assuming intelligent people are all millionaires?
gollark: That's a bad source. Do you pay attention to millionaires who are getting on fine?
gollark: Based on what? Did you *look* at these statistics?
