A singer/songwriter from Aurora, Illinois. Ian makes mostly acoustic music, but draws from many different genres and hopes to deliver eclectic, energetic, and emotional performances to any audience, no matter the size. From intimate ballads to crowd sing-alongs, he recounts intricate feelings with vulnerability, passion, and a fondness for human connection.
His debut album "Dreaming in Color" marks the beginning of his songwriting journey. DIY, raw, and a bit experimental, this first collection of songs captures the awkward cycle of unrequited and idealistic love yet painting a bittersweet portrayal of teenage tragedy.
His sophomore album "Passages" continues this narrative, in a more mature and introspective way. With an improved sound, this collection of songs delves deeper into the recurring themes of love, loss, intimacy, and isolation.
His latest release "Montauk" marks the beginning of a new chapter in his songwriting journey. Keep up with Jake’s music and career updates HERE.
