Jack9岁开始自学吉他和其他各类打击乐器.14岁开始在当地各种摇滚,爵士乐俱乐部进行定期演出.到了18岁那年他做出了人生的第一个重要选择----放弃Berklee school of music的全额奖学金入学的机会，继续和他的乐队 "Spenser"在全美演出。
With influences like Elvis Costello, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor and Butch Walker, it’s no wonder why the gifted musician, singer, songwriter Jake Coco has the music industry in a buzz. With his soulful eyes, refreshing boy next-door looks, and a passionate voice the sounds well beyond his 20 years, Jake Coco has everything it takes to become the next big thing in music. Jake was born in Cleveland Ohio in 1984, and was raised by his single mother Patricia. She introduced him to the violin at the tender age of two, and from there Jake began his long voyage down the wave of music. After mastering the violin in only five years, Jake decided to move on to other musical instruments. At the age of nine, he taught himself guitar and began learning the power of percussion
using a drum set that was given to him by his stepfather. By the age of fourteen Jake was performing on a regular basis at local jazz, blues and rock and roll clubs playing everything he could from the drums and piano to the guitar and the bass. After graduating high school in 2002, Jake was faced with a big decision. He was offered a full ride scholarship to the “;Berklee School of Music”; for his spectacular performing abilities on the drums. He was also given another opportunity to tour with his band “;Spenser”;. Following his passion for music and his love of performing, Jake decided to stick beside his band and began learning all his knowledge of performing on the road. “;Spenser”; played in small clubs and colleges all across the country for two years. Once back home Jake took pen to paper and began writing his own lyrics and producing his own music that would one day become “;Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales”;. Jake was then faced with another difficult decision. Stay with the band that had become his family, or spread his wings and fly. Jake followed his heart and began his journey as a solo artist. He locked himself in his basement studio for nearly four months, where he wrote, arranged, produced, mixed and mastered the songs that became the album “;Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales”;. After finishing his album, Jake packed up his life, kissed his mother goodbye, and made his move cross country to Hollywood. It was hard for him to leave everything he had known, but he knew it had to be done if he wanted to succeed and take his musical career to the next level. Jake’s music is a raw and unfiltered view of the lessons he has learned in life thus far. With the complexity of many different relationship that have come and gone over time, including girlfriends, best friends and his nonexistent biological father, Jake’s music is not only touching and heartfelt, but descriptive and true to the human emotion. Jake Coco is truly whatdreams are made of, and “;Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales”; is the soundtrack of his life, and maybe yours as well.
