I'm Jacob
I spent years chasing success the way social media told me to — copying what worked for others and checking every box I thought would make me happy. From the outside, I looked successful. Inside, I felt empty.
Burnout pushed me out of New York and into months of traveling and unplugging. In conversations with strangers, I finally heard something real: full, honest stories, not highlight reels. At the same time, my passion for EDM and the community grew, as I realized I had been suppressing my love for it out of fear of judgment.
Merging my love for the scene with my love for deep conversations, I now create space for artists to share their full, authentic stories — the parts the algorithm never shows. Because the more real stories we hear, the more permission we give ourselves to live ours.
AND THIS IS THE PODCAST:
The Why
Real stories create real connection. Beyond The Bass is where EDM artists share their complete journeys—not just the highlight reels, but the doubts, discoveries, and defining moments that shaped who they are.
For the Artist
This is your space to be fully seen. Step away from the pressure of performing offstage and share your story on your terms. When you show up as a whole human—not just another name on a lineup—you build genuine connection that turns casual listeners into superfans.
