Life has a way of balancing everything
out.”
When asked what the biggest
challenge artists face he explains the
universal answer of “themselves” like
this: “I’ve worked with a lot of artists
who say, “I really like what you did,
but it isn’t what I was thinking.” Some
people get so hung up in what they
want or hear that (they) don’t leave
room for what the music itself wants
or is . . . . Water can take on any form
it is put into. It doesn’t complain about
not being a certain shape. Water just
goes with the flow and flows. Once
you release you can achieve. The
releasing part is the hard part. We are
not geniuses. The universe is. We are
receivers therefore what we are given
we must release.”
Jacobs finds inspiration in
conversations, taking risks, conquests
and even something as simple as the
connection from making eye contact.
He uses Pro-Tools, Logic, Cubase,
Ableton Live and Studio One but his
favorite is Logic Pro. Even then, his
preference is still for using live musicians when recording as opposed
to programming sound and says the
workflow is faster whenever you just
let everyone be themselves.
Herbie Hancock, whom he admires
for finding spirituality and enhancing
his musical career by chanting is his
favorite artist followed closely by Art
18 UNSIGNED ARTIST
Tatum whom Jacobs considers a piano
god. Johnny Costa is also a favorite.
Jacobs has played within the United
States as well as in other countries
to include ones located in Central
America, in Japan and Europe. He is
looking forward to visiting Africa.
As he wraps up this interview
and starts getting into some George
Clinton “funk” he reminds us that
the best part of what comes next is
the excitement of not knowing and
is pretty “geeked” up about what his
future holds. Visit Cori “Fader” Jacobs
