"I'm constantly juggling a hundred projects at once. With Mogami I get the peace of mind of knowing that when I connect two pieces of equipment it's solid, clean, and I don't have to grab my soldering iron"
-Jake Tavill
Soulful melodies, empathetic lyrics, and moving instrumentation define the music of NYC's Jake Tavill. Drawing influence from classic icons of soul, funk, and jazz like Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, P-Funk and Miles Davis - as well as innovative modern music-makers like Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Moonchild, and Robert Glasper (who taught Jake at NYU), Jake's music defies restrictive musical thinking.
Jake is a graduate of NYU Tisch's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, in addition to having studied at both The Village East Conservatory and Berklee College of Music. Jake has released two albums, Indigo Child (2014) and Twisted Ideology (2017), as well as single, “Noah's Ark” (2015), is already lauded as “A young bushy-haired singer with a sweet soulful voice” (American Songwriter Magazine) that's “Magnetizing” (The Aquarian), “thought-worthy” (The Burning Ear) and “a kettle full of colorful soul with a lot of heart” (We Love That Sound) and has also garnered airplay on over 200 radio stations internationally.
Jake scores for film and TV as well, and has had the honor of working with Director Nam Hye-Seung on popular K-Dramas "A Piece of Your Mind" and "It's Okay Not To Be Okay" streaming on Netflix. Founder and CEO of studios, media, and entertainment company Indigo Soul NYC, Jake produces and engineers for a wide range of artists and projects at his Brooklyn recording studio, Indigo Soul NYC: The B Room, while leading the company in its mission to nurture artists of all levels, mediums, and backgrounds by providing accessible space, community, and education.
Jake plays frequently with his backing band, The Indigo Soul NYC House Band, all over the world. Jake has opened for Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The O'Jays and boasts performances at CMJ Music Marathon, Mondo.NYC, The Winter NAMM Show, The Richmond International Film Festival, PA's Musikfest, The Cape May Craft Beer & Crab Festival, and more.
Jake's mission is to make a difference by using his music to help people understand themselves - and each other.
