Norwegian artist Jakob p/k/a Jakob Ogawa kick-started his career in 2017 with “All Your Love” that quickly became a tastemaker favourite. Later that year, his anticipated debut EP Bedroom Tapes came out. The EP received critical acclaim both by domestic and international media, establishing Jakob as a strong name in the international music scene.
Jakob’s ethereal vocals make for a blissful contrast with the earthiness of his production, and it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that he is set to have a breakout year. He was selected as an artist to watch in 2018 by The FADER, leading to festival spots at Lollapalooza in Argentina and Roskilde, and a headline tour in GSA. Despite only releasing three tracks in 2018, the year was an incredible redemption for his career, experiencing exceptional streaming growth.
Jakob released the EP April in 2019, and did a very successful world tour with sold out rooms in Europe, Asia, and the US.
Work might finally be near-complete on his long awaited debut album as Jakob itakes to the road again in 2025, stopping by YES this February.
