IN THE SPOTLIGHT...<br />
JAKE ALDRIDGE<br />
MUSIC<br />
29 year old Jake Aldridge was<br />
born and raised in the village of<br />
Reydon, near Southwold.<br />
When Jake was just 11 years old, tragically his<br />
father died suddenly and unexpectedly. This<br />
life-changing event later led Jake down the<br />
path of Songwriting.<br />
Despite having always struggled to deal<br />
with losing his father and role model, Jake<br />
eventually found comfort in writing his<br />
thoughts down on paper.<br />

diary. One day, he randomly started to rhyme<br />
a few of the words that he was writing and in<br />

and collaborating with Producers & Mixing<br />
Engineers from all around the world. Jake’s<br />
productions, intern with his fan base, were<br />
developing rapidly.<br />
HIs success started to build, winning more<br />
competitions, this time held by ‘Pyro Music<br />
Group’ and he also secured a Sync deal with<br />
Amurco Music from the UK.<br />
Today, Jake’s music has been featured on<br />
hundreds of music blogs and radio stations<br />
from around the world. He’s also has racked<br />
up 200,000 plays online and won the NMG<br />
Audience Choice award last month.<br />

was never really much of a singer, his method<br />
of performing these rhymes seemed like an<br />
easy choice to make.<br />
Unlike many musicians, music wasn’t in Jake’s<br />
blood and feeling the music never came<br />
naturally to him. His skills at this time were<br />
purely in his ability to write lyrics. He dropped<br />
out of college to pursue his music but soon<br />
realised it was unrealistic to be successful<br />
overnight.<br />
As his skills improved, Jake’s music was<br />
