Jake Kohn will tell you he penned his first "good" song at 12-years-old. The song, "Fraterville, TN," tells the story of the Fraterville Coal mining disaster of 1902. While his own life experience hasn't influenced the majority of his songs, Jake tells stories of real people. His songs speak to the experience of many in Appalachia, and listeners may find themselves wondering how an artist so young can capture the emotion that comes with living a full, often burdensome, and complex life. Still only a teenager, Jake's unusually deep voice and songwriting ability have captured the attention of many. He began playing local bars at age 13, uploading new music via YouTube in his time away from school and gigs. It was his video for "Hard as Stone," filmed for Radio West Virginia, that fueled Jake's widespread notoriety. His video for "Frostbite," a gut-wrenching and jaw-dropping showcase of his songwriting and vocal ability, continues to make its way across all platforms bolstering millions of views. His career has been on an upward trajectory since. Jake's debut album "Where Do We Go From Here?" is available now.
