Jake Bass - The Jakey B. Lp (2020)

The Detroit music scene has taken on so many personalities over the years that it’s hard to hone-in on what it means today. Jake Bass is one of the individuals re-defining Detroit and Music. Born into the trade and exemplifying what putting notes and sounds together truly means, Jake Bass has taken the industry by storm and is leaving a large impact on both new and old artists alike.

Graduating from Columbia College Chicago in 2012 with a Music Composition degree, Jake is no stranger to the mechanics of Music. An accomplished musician, Jake also produces and performs. To his own credits, Jake’s first published song came by partnering with Bizarre of hip-hop group D12, and working with Detroit-based rapper King Gordy on a song called “Fat Boy.” Jake impressed Bizarre with tracks burned to a CD – often Jake’s “calling card” when you meet him, to gain entry into working directly with him. While this accomplishment and relationship was built when he was only 17, Jake had many triumphs both before and after this.

Jake grew up in the studio environment, and just as a Detroit autoworker’s son would take to working the assembly line, Jake took to the only thing he had ever known … music.

In the early years, Jake started his journey at the age of 8, harmoniously playing “by ear” the piano, drums and at the age of 10 adding guitar and bass. At the age of 13, Jake began writing and producing original hip-hop, pop and rock songs, building what today is a large vast library of dynamic sounds, audio tracks and future-proof compositions. These were no small feats as Jake produced all of these efforts in his father’s basement studio. Even still, Jake’s music was on par at that age with many artists on the scene today.
