“Jacob Fannin was born Sept. 19th, 1984 in the small town of Hortonville, Wisconsin. The fourth oldest of eleven kids, Jake took to singing at an early age. Jake’s dad was a bass guitarist in a popular local band while his mother was an accomplished performance pianist; thus making music an integral part of the family’s upbringing. “I learned to sing before anything else, and that was my mom’s doing,” Jake said. “She knew what she was talking about, and she always played and let us kids sing whenever we wanted. So even though it was all fun, we were constantly getting instruction and always learning while we were raised.” Jake said he always knew that music would be a PART of his life… but it wasn’t until his senior year of high school when he found out music was going to BE his life. “It was weird, because, we were putting on a musical my senior year of high school, and I was lucky enough to land one of the lead roles. It was really the first time that I had been on a stage and the lights were completely on me and I had the entire audience’s attention for an extended period of time. It was the coolest feeling.” Jake claims that because of this, he skipped over the ‘career-burden’ most high-schoolers face. “Definately, most kids go through a time of ‘What do I want to do with my life?’ and whatnot… and after that opening night, I just said “Alright, that was easy… I have to sing.” After graduating high school in the Spring of 2003, Jake enrolled at the University of Wiscon
