Jakobe (South Daytona, FL) – “Rely On Nobody”

Mark Nagrani, better known by his stage name Jakobe, was born on January 4,1993 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Growing up, Jakobe was a superior student in the classroom graduating high school with a 4.2 GPA. Outside of school, Jakobe played tennis and began developing a love for Hip-Hop in 10th grade. Jakobe has always found enjoyment in music since his younger years, but with the divorce of his parents during his senior year high school, writing rhymes became his only outlet. Only then did Jakobe begin writing lyrics, and uncovering a hidden talent.

With the talent of Orlando’s own Caskey, and Pittsburg’s native Wiz Khalifa, Jakobe found the inspiration needed to spark his creativity. From starting just one year ago seriously recording music, Jakobe has become a familiar name around town. In August 2013, Jakobe released his first mixtape, Reintroduction, followed by his second mixtape, Skeptical, in late December.

Throughout the creation of new pieces, Jakobe has broadened his musical spectrum and found a passion in developing different styles in hip-hop. Each record recorded reflects real-life situations, which allows the listener to connect to the lyrics as well as see Jakobe in a real and true light.
