This is one of my first creations... not my best but I wanted to post it.

Nothin' But Beats

My goal as a musician is to honor God with my music, not myself.  That's why this is "More than just Music" to me.  God has given each of us our own unique talents and gifts, And He wants us to use them to glorify Him.  That is what I am trying to do... 

enjoy!

This is a project I have been working on for the past month or so... I hope you like it!  

I am still trying to figure out the whole mastering process, so this song does not sound the best in terms of mastering...  I will say that.  I may upload another "remastered" version in the future, but I just wanted to release this... So enjoy!

Thanks also for 300 followers and 5,000 total plays!  You guys rock!

Hey guys!

Well, this is the Dubstep project I have been working on the past few weeks.

It has hit 2000+ plays, over 130 likes, and 60+ downloads!  Thank you so much, all of you.  It means a lot :)

God bless,

This is our entry to Levi Whalen's Find You remix contest!  I hope you like it! 

Craylight and I worked very hard on this.  I focused more on the chord progressions, melodies, and overall structure of the song, while Craylight did all of the mixing and added a lot of his own sounds to make it come to life!  We had a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy the track as much as we enjoyed making it.

First of all, I did not write this... so don't think I did!  

Loch Lomond is a traditional Scottish song, and this was one of my reading pieces for my music lessons.  I just arranged it to make it sound like an orchestra is playing it.  

Does this sound like the opening scene of a movie?  Let me know, because that is what I was going for...  By the way, this is my first full project with Logic Pro x :)

Also, thank you for 500 followers!  You guys rock :)

(Lyrics)
Nothing ever changes here
It’s just me and this atmosphere
Night after night, again and again,                         
A billion stars burning crystal clear

Just an ordinary night like this
The sun falls in and the stars come up again
Nothing happens on a night like this
Once again it’s just me and the howling wind
What could happen on a night like this?
Well a shining star rose up from the hillside
And it called my name…
So I followed the starlight!

Followed the starlight 
So I followed the starlight
I followed the starlight
So I followed the starlight 

As a passed across the hillside
The star overhead burning bright 
I looked down and there it was
The scene that changed my life
A baby boy was born that night, among the least of these, 
A child to the eye but a king inside, he was king of kings 
Something special on a night like this, nothing like before 
He would save us all, he would rule the world, and he started with me, when I followed the starlight!  

When I followed the starlight (repeats 3X) 

The star burning so bright
Something special on that night    
When I followed the starlight       
Everything will be alright
When I followed the starlight

Jacob Stanifer - Starlight (feat. Carter Brand)

Hello again, guys!

I've had this track sitting around for a while, and I figured it was time to let it go.  It's not perfect, but it's some of my best work yet.  I hope you enjoy it!

Also, huge shoutout to @bgareffa for helping with mixing/mastering, go check him out!

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20


Jacob Stanifer - Go (Original Mix)

My submission for Ferry Corsten's "Back To Paradise" remix contest! 

I poured a lot of work into this remix, and I think I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!  I wanted to keep the emotional energy of the vocals, while adding my own unique twist... I even broke out the old Fender and recorded some guitar.  ;)  I had a lot of fun remixing this, and I hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

I was falling
I was falling when you found me
I was screaming
Someone save me from this gravity
I can't rise above the darkness
Then you gave me Wings to fly away

I was blinded
By the bright light as I rose up
From the shadows
That was all I'd ever known
Now I'm flying
Apart from You I am nothing
Because You are my Wings
Because You are my Wings

Jacob Stanifer - Wings (feat. Twilight Meadow)

So, I was blown away when I heard Ember Island's cover of "Where Are Ü Now"... and I just had to remix it.  Easily some of the best vocals I've ever worked with.  I didn't use any stems on this one, just vocals.  I made this in about 5 hours and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!  It's definitely a new sound for me.   ;)

Hey guys!  First of all, thanks so much for 1k followers.  You guys rock <3
So, here's my long-awaited collaboration with SHIPS (REV1VED) (https://soundcloud.com/shipsofficial).  We've been wanting to do this for a while because our styles are so similar, and we finally found some time to do it.  Had a blast working with him.  :)

@JacobStaniferMusic :  Intro, 1st drop, Verses, Mixing/mastering
@SHIPSofficial :  Verses, 2nd Drop, Outro

Jacob Stanifer & SHIPS - Only The Beginning

Here's a new song I did with my good friend Ben Gareffa (@bgareffa) just in time for Independence Day!  It's a pretty energetic track, but it definitely has its fair share of chillness.  Ben and I spent a short day in the studio, and I think we came away with something really unique!  The song was ready to go within 48 hours of our session, but despite the short amount of time, I think it turned out pretty cool.  The entire process from start to finish was collaborative, and I can't tell you how much I enjoy working with Ben.  ;)

With that said, I hope you enjoy the song!  Comments and feedback are appreciated, and have a wonderful Independence Day! 

-Jacob

Here's my submission to the Diamonds In The Dark remix contest!  Thanks to @eyesontheking and @weareleo for such an awesome opportunity.  So, for this remix I decided to go a totally different direction than the original song.  It's definitely different, but I think it fits the the vocals and the theme of the song really well.  So yeah, I hope you guys like it!  Can't wait to hear what you think.  :)

God bless, and enjoy!

P.S.  thanks to everyone who offered their helpful feedback and helped me push this project as far as I could.  ;)

We Are Leo - Diamonds In The Dark (Jacob Stanifer Remix)

So, a few months ago I was asked to remix a song from Sarah Brusco's album, The Woven Whisper.  I heard they were assembling a remix album, and it seemed like an awesome opportunity, so I just had to say yes.  And here's what I came up with!  So excited for you guys to hear this.  :)

Also, I've got some pretty big stuff coming musically.  Waiting on some things to get finished up, but I can't wait to show you.  Also planning to finally get some social media accounts up so I can connect with you all.  :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my remix.  You can download it along with all of the other remixes in the Rewoven Whispers album here!  http://noisetrade.com/sarahbrusco/rewoven-whispers  

God bless,
-Jacob

Sarah Brusco - Make Your Home Inside My Heart (Jacob Stanifer Remix)

Yeahhhhh don't worry this is a joke. ;)

For those of you who don't know, Gax (@joshuaplayspiano) challenged everyone to a beat battle. So I decided to join the party, Tristan Peace style.

May not be topping charts anytime soon but I think I broke the record for whitest rap of all time. That's a thing...

Lyrics:

show up
I show up
aint nobody invite me
I still show up 

I’m late to the party like always
better watch when I walk through the doorway
party don’t start when I show up
hold up, man I came to shut this thing DOWN
hey, I know it’s the holidays 
I’ll be careful I don’t wanna scare the kids away
ya’ll tryna spread Christmas cheer
but Ima show you all what’s up in here, man

game over
y’all ain’t got nothing on me
game over
lights out like like a christmas tree
X2

ha, y’all heard me
lights out like your grandma’s christmas tree
naw man, all love for your grandma though
bet she makes better beats then ya’ll though

well, I hope you have merry christmas 
I still can’t believe that I did this
I’m on roll now, aint about to slow down 
but can’t nobody stop me I’m O.G.

(not really tho)


"Game Over" @Gax (read description)

Well, here's my entry for @capitalkingsmusic Live For The Drop remix competition!  I tried to keep it pretty simple, yet spacious and beautiful at the same time, and I think I like how it turned out.  Hopefully you do too.  ;)

Breaking Away (single)

Breaking Away (feat. Micah Ariss)

Brand new single! Written, performed, and produced by yours truly. And I know what you're thinking. 'Is that Jacob singing?' Well folks, it is! 

This song is all about letting go of the things in life that don't matter. It's about realizing our human efforts and the things we build will never be enough. And it's about jumping back into God's always open arms.

Lyrics:
Only a matter of time before I fall
And time is ticking down
So if I don’t let go know
It won’t matter at all
Cause I’ve been holding on to the wrong things
Holding on to nothing
But I still believe in something 
I know you’re there
I just can’t see you from up here
And this gravity I fear
Is just bringing me down
Down

And I hear you say
I can’t answer if you don’t call
And I can’t save you if you don’t fall
So just let go, let go of it all
Freefall
Cause none of this matters at all
Freefall

Maybe gravity’s a good thing
When it’s the only thing between us
Maybe gravity’s a good thing
Cause it’s keeping me close to you
Maybe gravity’s a good thing
Cause it’s bringing me down
Down to my knees
Freefall

Freefall

Fall Apart
