Jakwob

Early life

Jakwob began making music aged 10. As a multi-instrumentalist he has been involved in many bands since his early teenage years - starting out in jazz but soon moving on to death metal and folk. His style is now notable for transcending genres and its relative 'accessibility' given the dubstep genre. Both his original work and remixes combine elements of dubstep, electro, classical piano, cinematic orchestral soundscapes, Indian fusion music and breakbeat. This eclecticism also manifests itself in Jakwob's DJ sets, which typically feature dub, hip-hop, drum and bass, dubstep and beyond.
