“the next major queer artist”
- Vibrant Music Collective
Drawing from a rich tapestry of influences that span underground vogue ballroom culture, 80s synth pop, country, and contemporary urban sounds, Jaake's music is a reflection of their multifaceted background. Their childhood, spent in both rural and urban settings, combined with their deep roots in Los Angeles' underground queer nightlife, infuses their work with a unique and compelling perspective.
Jaake's career is marked by notable performances, including a set on the mainstage at DTLA Proud and appearances on American Idol's Season 17, as well as Season 2 of The Glee Project. Despite facing rejection and navigating challenging relationships, Jaake has carved out a space for themselves in the music industry, continually pushing boundaries and combating the constraints of societal norms.
