James Edward Jacob (born 28 March 1989), better known by his stage name Jakwob, is a British music producer, songwriter, DJ and composer.
Jacob was born in Hereford and grew up in Lincoln. His parents are Anglo Indian and Scottish. As a multi-instrumentalist, in his early teenage years, he was involved in many local bands – starting out in jazz but soon moving on to death metal and folk. [2]
In 2009, Jacob won acclaim in the blog world for his bootleg of Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed". [3] In November 2009, he was given his first airplay on national radio when his remix of Ellie Goulding's "Under the Sheets" was played on BBC Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record in the World'. (A title which was also given to "Electrify" and "Please Ft. Kano".) [4] He released his debut single "Here with Me" on his own label, Boom Ting Recordings on 13 September 2010. [5]
Jacob has composed the score for a number of independent short films, documentaries and adverts. His first feature film score was for Molly Manning Walker's 2023 How to Have Sex . The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes film festival and won the Un Certain Regard prize. In 2024 it was nominated for 3 BAFTA Film Awards.
