"And not only that, but we glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Born and raised in Plano, TX to a large family where music has always been present, Jake's love for music sparked when his grandpa gave him a guitar at the age of 8. It grew in 8th grade when his choir teacher gave shy Jake the solo of Teddy Bear by Elvis (picture below). It wasn't until college that his high school football passion fully transitioned to music.
Inspired by artists like George Strait, Zach Bryan, Ronnie Milsap, Elvis and Billy Joel, Jake spent countless hours honing his craft and developing his distinct sound. He weaves traditional country elements with a contemporary edge and has been on the rise in the Texas country music scene.
From restaurants & wine bars to music venues, festivals & private events, Jake captivates audiences with his powerhouse vocals and heartfelt performances.
His down-to-earth demeanor and genuine connection with his fans have endeared him to a rapidly growing fanbase that stretches far beyond the borders of the Lone Star State.
The future is undeniably bright for this music sensation. There's no doubt this heartthrob is destined to become a household name in the hearts of country music lovers everywhere.
Currently, Jake works full time writing, producing, & performing music, and is a teacher in north Texas.

Singer / Songwriter
His debut EP "Guys Like Me", produced by Dallas producer Jude Dyllan, was released June of 2023. From that, he was connected to Zac Maloy (pictured above) from The Nixons and started travelling to Nashville to write, record, and produce with well-known names in the industry. Since then, Jake has released over 20 singles, been a contender on NBC's The Voice, graduated with a marketing degree from the University of North Texas, and won singer/songwriter contests like The Battle of the Balladeers by 95.3 The Range.
Jake sat down with @mayleethomas for the Texas Homegrown Music Podcast to talk about the journey so far—music, growth, and everything in between.
"In the middle of the grind, it’s easy to forget how far you’ve come. This convo brought me back to the present—reminded me that the moment I’m in now is something I once prayed for. Grateful for the space to reflect, and for the reminder to slow down and soak it all in."
