I love this picture :D

More me.. Me me me me :D
Welcome!
Hey all..
The name is Jacob and you're currently reading the introduction to my little spot here on SoundClick.
Here you can listen to all my music and I certainly hope you'll enjoy all of it - as my prime goal is to please my listeners.
Music is my hobby, my desire, my dream, my life..
I've spent countless hours making all the music here on this page - but this is only a small fraction of what I've made through the past many years.
I am a self-taught musician and have never had a teacher to tell me to do x or y. You can also hear that in my music - as sometimes I 'lack' the disciplin a theoretical student would have. But I think it's a good thing - 'cause you are more free to do exactly what your heart desire.
After all..
Isn't music all about heart?

After all..
Isn't music all about heart?
Why this name?
I have no need for a band name. I'm a composer, song writer and so on. All I really want is my name placed as the one who actually wrote the tune.
Do you play live?
I don't play live right now - but I intend to within the next couple of years.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I've started to embrace the internet musicians. It wasn't like that to begin with.. Had you asked me this question 10 years ago, I would've seriously hated it. But now, it is a great utility to gain promotion without playing live and using expensive means of advertisement.. I merely give people a SC ;;link now.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the contract.
Band History:
It's simply my history.. Been a passionate musician all of my life and I simply try my way foward in this hard business.
Some don't realise it.. But even though my music here on SC often tend to lean toward the softer kinds of pop or rock, and symphonic of course, I also play and write hard rock and metal.
I don't believe in restricting myself to just one genre.

Your influences?
I have so many influences that I think it would take days to mention it all.. But I'm a big fan of 80's rock - you know.. Queen, Europe, Iron Maiden etc.
But I listen to nearly everything.. If you go and get narrowminded on music, then your inspiration will suffer from it.. Don't know if that's wise words - but it's the truth never-the-less.

Favorite spot?
My favorite city is my own hometown.. But playing music in? I can't say.
Equipment used:
Anything I can get my hands on!
Anything else...?
What I would like to do.. Is to thank all the musicians who has inspired me - as that list would be very very very long I wont mention them.. But thank you!

Was an honour to have an influence on the lyrics Jacob. It's good to finally see this piece finished. A stunning vocal performance, sending shivers down my spine, emotional, powerful, overwhelming. You voice reminded me alot of Vitas, do you know his work? Sensational work from all involved. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this tune. You have really digged it this time.
I must admit that you've really overdid yourself on the vocal. That's an awesome performance !!!!
My only question is... How many meals did you have to invite your neighbour into after recording the vocals ?
Thanks for letting me play along on this one. GREAT work all around !!!
