Jake Kerbrat, formerly Jason Kerbrat (born June 11, 1985), is an acclaimed singer/songwriter from northern British Columbia Canada. He began playing the guitar and writing songs at the age of nine, and spent his high school years playing in several bands. Success came early for Jake and his band Opus Dei when in 1999 they took first place in a provincial battle of the bands leading to a North American Tour with Bob Seger Different musical directions lead to the breakup of Opus Dei in 2001. From 2002 to 2007 Jake continued to write and record music while enrolled in the University of British Columbia where he completed a master's degree in aerospace engineering. Taking a time out from the aerospace business in 2008 he recorded his self-titled EP which he made available for free, asking instead that donations be made to the S.P.C.A.
