Jakob is a Copenhagen, Denmark-based singer-songwriter, producer and mantra-artist.

Musician by Heart.

Jakob’s entire life has revolved around music. Since his pre-teens, he has been performing professionally. He has released several albums, toured intensively and topped the charts within the pop industry as both a producer and a songwriter and with his band The Loft and more recently, working with 80’s synth wave project Neon Capital.

At age twelve, Jakob forms his first band called The Rockabillies, playing rock ‘n’ roll from the 1950s.  A year later, Jakob and his band record an album, Dream Girl, at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN with music legend Carl Perkins. 

A few years later, Jakob and lifelong musical companion Martin Bøge Pedersen form The Loft, and they start off producing three songs for the soundtrack of the movie Den Eneste Ene which goes double platinum. 

Following this, the band works intensively on material for their debut album and signs with Universal Music Denmark. Their first single City Of Dreams includes a sample from the song Midt om natten by Danish artist Kim Larsen. The single goes gold, reaches the top of the airplay chart as well as the dance chart and is the most played song on Danish national radio P3 that year. The video for the song is shot in New York City and nominated for a Nordic Music Award.

Their debut album No Ordinary Man also goes gold, and the album’s second single Forever becomes a massive radio hit as well.

The Loft follows with their second album Little Paul’s BLVD from which the single Kiss You Goodbye reaches gold.

Parallel to his music, Yoga and Meditation have been an integral part of Jakob’s life. His seven-year exploration with esteemed teachers in India, the USA, and Denmark has deeply influenced his artistic expression. A devoted follower of the Baul tradition and student of Shri Parvathy Baul, he seamlessly merges music and meditation in his live performances both domestically and internationally.

As a composer and songwriter Jakob is signed to the international publishing company Reservoir Media in New York.
