We recently saw Jacob live and the Scottish singer-songwriter with a profound gift for storytelling, did not disappoint. Drawing fair comparisons to artists such as Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, their music is touched by a rare timelessness.

Alon began writing songs in school as a way of making friends laugh but never considered a career in music possible until much later. While studying medicine at university, Jacob found themself deeply confused and unhappy, only finding joy when making music. To the disapproval of their family, they decided to drop out and pursue their true dream full-time.

Creating is part of who Jacob fundamentally is - a lens by which they process and understand experiences in the world.
