James Edward Jacob (born 28 March 1989), better known by his stage name Jakwob, is a British music producer, songwriter, DJ and composer.

Early life

Jacob was born in Hereford and grew up in Lincoln. His parents are Anglo Indian and Scottish. As a multi-instrumentalist, in his early teenage years, he was involved in many local bands – starting out in jazz but soon moving on to death metal and folk.

2009{{endash}}present: Mainstream success as Jakwob

In 2009, Jacob won acclaim in the blog world for his bootleg of Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed". In November 2009, he was given his first airplay on national radio when his remix of Ellie Goulding's "Under the Sheets" was played on BBC Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record in the World'. (A title which was also given to "Electrify" and "Please Ft. Kano".) He released his debut single "Here with Me" on his own label, Boom Ting Recordings on 13 September 2010.

Film scores

Jacob has composed the score for a number of independent short films, documentaries and adverts. His first feature film score was for Molly Manning Walker's 2023 How to Have Sex. The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes film festival and won the Un Certain Regard prize. In 2024, it was nominated for 3 BAFTA Film Awards.
