My name is Jacob Stratton. I'm from the small town of Statenville, Ga. I come from a family that is very musical and have always had a love for music... I grew up in a religious household but didn't really come to know Christ till later on in my teens. I picked up the guitar around age 13 and without any lessons taught myself how to play. I began playing worship music for my church when I was around 16 and at 17 I was made worship leader of my church.. I went on to do that for a few years and I eventually left to a different church where I played various instruments and sang.. The world drew me away for a few years where I pursued music on my own and just didn't like it. I got into alot of stuff I didn't need to mess with and went through some really rough times. I rededicated my life to God in the summer of 2010 and have since been working on my worship album. I have a love of Christ and rock music.. I want to share that with people..
Why this name?
I'm not sold on a name yet... I'm waiting till I organize a full band to play with.
Do you play live?
I'm talking with some really talented young musicains about doing live worship events and I'm really excited to see what God has in store...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It opens up a whole new realm. People that once couldnt get anybody to listen to their music can now put it on the net and the whole world can hear it. I've even seen unsigned bands do better than signed bands through internet promotion.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Heck yes.
Band History:
My name is Jacob Stratton. I'm from Valdosta Georgia. I have been playing guitar and writting songs for about 12 years now. That said, talent is completely God given. He is the reason I play so well. I have no other explanation. That is why I have given my talent completely to him. Right now God is working on me and preparing me for something awesome. I have my promises from him that I hold onto and I know one day they will come to pass. I love to play everything from blues to death metal. If you are interested in playing or would like lessons hit me up. I'm always up for anything.
