His unique, curiosity-first exploration of music helped transform him into one of the most innovative musicians of his generation. Now with over 2.5 million fans across YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok, Jacob shares behind-the-scenes glimpses of his music composition with dynamic duets, covers, and original works.
In this exclusive class, Jacob dives deep into all of the different components that make up sound. From how to form a story with melody to coloring it with harmony, Jacob will walk you through every step of creating a sound completely unique to you.
