Jacob Shakespeare

Jacob Shakespeare is an 19 year old gay pop artist from Tamworth, near Birmingham in the UK. Since releasing his debut single and EP, Jacob has developed a small but passionate fanbase of music lovers similar to him, creating an inclusive community with whom he shares his music, with the aim of making everyone, from all walks of life, feel accepted and understood.

His debut EP ‘the things you do’ acted as a testing ground for Jacob to play around with a variety of genres and find where he is most comfortable. His upcoming releases and sophomore EP (which is currently in its final stages of production) lean more into the synth/ alt pop genre, all of his new tracks entirely self produced. 

He has been writing songs since the age of 14, teaching himself to sing and play the piano, but also produce and record his own tracks. At heart, Jacob is a lyricist. He possesses the unique ability to write raw, emotional, heartfelt songs, as well as upbeat, catchy tracks.
