Jacob McLeod

Based in Big Rapids, Michigan, Jacob McLeod became obsessed with all things music during the lockdown of 2020. With time on his hands, he discovered his passion for performing and creating music. Since then, he has released numerous singles, a full length album, performed all across the state of Michigan, and just recently released his sophomore EP “Selections from the Journal of a Junior in College,” all while attending Central Michigan University. He is currently 21 years old and is making a name for himself as one of the premier upcoming songwriters and performers in the state of Michigan.
