Jacob is a composer, producer and musician. Starting life in a small, working class, industrial town in the North of England, he now resides in California.

The path into a career in music was unique; the first gig he landed was writing music for on-hold messaging. Now, his work is as varied as his musical tastes, and includes award-winning shorts and feature documentaries, avant-pop artists; adverts for blue-chip brands and includes commissions at world renowned festivals. The detailed process of creating a sonic language with directors and artists he takes, and his unique blend of organic, found sounds and classical sensibilities create a music language perfect for scoring. A huge believer that music is for everyone, he loves to work with people, help them find their artistic voice, and give them the courage to pursue their convictions.

Alongside composing and producing, he is a multi-instrumentalist who has played at festivals throughout the UK with his post-punk outfit Gardenback, headlined dance tents with groove-merchants Howling Rhythm and performed on some of the most prestigious concert halls in the country, including The Bridgewater Hall and The Royal Albert Hall.
