Career
Jacob started playing guitar at 13 years old, honing his skills in acoustic, electric, R&B and jazz playing styles. At 16 years old he formed his own bands, performing in local bars and clubs in Los Angeles. Jacob has played and toured with recording artists: Bette Midler, George Michael, and Tower of Power, and said he has been inspired by Hans Zimmer, John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams. During DreamWorks' founding years, Zimmer and Jacob worked together on the soundtracks for The Road to El Dorado and Antz. This led to his work as a featured guitarist with score composers Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell on Shrek.
