During this period, Jacobs sang pop, r&b and jazz in local bands, while developing the classical and operatic aspects of his voice in school. He sang several roles, and won a number of classical voice competitions.
Jacobs continued his education, earning multiple Masters degrees in psychology, while never getting very far away from the music that was always his first love.
Jacobs musical taste runs the gamut from the American Song Book to Hip Hop. Recently, when asked what type of music he sings and writes, Jacobs responded, “ I am a jazz singer and composer, but I am also a product of my varied musical experiences. Jazz is, and always has been, a living breathing thing. That’s the beauty of it; just when you think that you’ve nailed what it is, it goes in a completely different direction. It’s like a beautiful, lyrical virus.”
With Jacobs album FIRIST MAN, he brings to life many of his musical ideas with the help of some of Los Angeles’ best musicians. FIRST MAN touches on swing, bop, soul, hip hop, r&b and folk. Jacobs and his incredible band soar as they guide us on a sweeping journey, which is at times soulful, funky and tender, and always meaningful. Jacobs leads with a powerful and sensitive voice that pays honor to his roots while always remaining true to himself. His inventive and daring style of singing match the creativity and erudition of his fellow musicians.
