the STORY

Hello and welcome. My name is Jacob (or Jake, if you want to feel like we're already friends) and I spend a lot of time making music. I write, record, release, and occasionally perform songs that I put out under this name of No Breaks Jake. It's sort of a band name but it's also just me a lot of the time. This website is mostly dedicated to that, and you can find it all here. I really hope you like it.

​

I try to be ambitious, curious, and unafraid of wearing my heart on my sleeve. I care very much about this romantic notion of artists and their pursuit of truth at any cost, even when it's dark and terrible and a little more than a healthy person should be able to handle. I also try not to be too pretentious about it but as you might have noticed that's a secondary concern compared to the other stuff. I do write blog-type posts which you can find on this page. If you'd like to know me better, that's a decent place to start.
