Jacob, widely recognized as "The Dutch New Yorker," embarked on
his musical odyssey at the age of 15, hailing from the vibrant yet
challenging backdrop of Yonkers, NY. A true sonic alchemist, he
seamlessly blends jazz-influenced hip-hop, Trap, and house,
showcasing his versatility and commitment to musical
experimentation.
Beyond the stage, Jacob serves as a community
pillar, collaborating with esteemed organizations such as Hip Hop
Saves Lives and the Rotary Club. His dedication extends globally,
providing guidance to youth and championing positive futures.
In 2021, Jacob founded Subliminal Collective, a groundbreaking initiative
that began with organizing underground raves to foster community unity
and provide emerging artists a platform to showcase their talent. A
visionary in the electronic music scene, Jacob elevated Subliminal
Collective's presence, organizing an unforgettable night at The Kit Kat
Club Berlin in 2022 and securing the role of official booker for Club
Roots, Undercurrent, and Yellow House in 2023.
As a curator of monthly events for Subliminal and other collectives,

successes include a collaborative exchange with Rave Odyssey in
Thessaloniki, Greece, in November. His commitment to global collaboration
continues, with upcoming collaborations set for December 29th with Nacht
Rave In Hamburg Germany, and plans for future exchanges throughout
2024.
Having toured 10 countries and 3 continents as a Hip Hop artist with Hip
Hop Saves Lives and various artist in that scene, Jacob's transition into the
electronic scene during the COVID-19 pandemic marked a pivotal moment. His
ventures in organizing community-focused illegal raves and the

for dark hypnotic groove and hard groove music, seamlessly merging it with
his hip-hop roots.
