JACOB SMITH
IN HIS OWN WORDS
"I was lucky enough to grow up in the countryside of Somerset. The space I had around me has definitely had and effect on my creative process. I find inspiration in nature and I like to have room to breath. Which has led me to where i am now, working out of my studio on coast of Cornwall.
My musical style could be labelled as Modern-Classical, but there are subtle elements of Folk, Minimalism, Post Rock and other styles there too.
Growing up my Dad listened to a lot of Jazz, Classical and Folk music mostly. He introduced me to great music that has stayed with me throughout. Composers such as Phillip Glass, Simon Jeffes, Michael Nyman. Storytellers like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Tom Waits. Musical Maestros Bill Evans, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk.
Mostly though I find my inspiration outside of music, from my experiences, my surroundings, stories i hear and the emotions I feel."
