ABOUT
Growing up in a musical family, Jacob “the” William was destined to follow in their musical footsteps. He formed his first musical group, a hip hop duo “Explorers Of The Dreamworld”, at age 11, and quickly demonstrated his aptitude for the technical side of audio engineering and music production. Over the years, he continued to hone his skills and explore different musical genres, launching several bands and solo projects.
In 2014, tragedy struck when Jacob lost his entire family in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. He himself was left in a coma for three weeks, awakening to the devastating news of his loved ones’ deaths. Struggling to cope with this new reality, he turned to drugs and other addictions, soon losing everything he owned, including his prized instruments and family heirlooms.
After ten years of self-destruction, Jacob found himself at death’s doorstep. It was then that a kind nurse took him under her wing, helping him to rediscover his love for life and music. Together, they embarked on a journey of redemption and recovery, finding hope and purpose in each other’s company.
Jacob’s story is a testament to the power of music, perseverance, and the human spirit, proving that even in the darkest moments, there is always a chance for redemption and hope.
