Jacob Privette / Jake Grey does photography, music and much more.
What is a joyous moment that you’ve experienced recently?
I had the opportunity to record my first single. The ability to hear my song turn into a full production was amazing.
Why did you start this venture? Out of opportunity, necessity, dream job…? Did you have to give anything up to pursue this?
I started taking pictures because I bought a camera and I got asked to take pictures for T-Pain. I started doing music because it saved me from the darkest of places and I wanted to help others through music.
Besides this, what is another hidden talent, passion, or hobby of yours? Are you close with your family?
I do hip hop dance for fun.
My mother passed away when I was little. So, my family life is unique.
