Rapper-turned-singer Jake Aldridge is one of the most intriguing British artists in recent years. Despite starting his career with a lack of natural rhythm, he went on to become an award-winning musician picking up multiple awards in the best artist category. Wishing to inspire those facing adversity, Jake’s upcoming Pop-Country single ‘Down’, is a tribute to, and a celebration of, ‘The underdog’. A title he is all too familiar with. 

At 11 years old, Jake experienced a traumatic loss when his father was struck by lightning during a family fishing trip. The tragedy became the catalyst for a budding career in the music industry as he began writing songs as a way of expressing himself. Having come from a non-musical background, Jake did not play any instruments and singing was not a part of his repertoire. Living in Reydon (a small coastal village in Suffolk) the teenage Jake did not know where to turn for help. Eventually, he began collaborating with local guitarist George Bennett who helped him discover a sense of rhythm. 
	
After many years of practice (and by harnessing the power of social networking) Jake grew his following by releasing songs into the public domain. His singles ‘Erotic’ and ‘Falling’ received regular rotation on Sky’s Playboy television channels. Jake’s music ultimately caught the attention of Dingwall’s owner Maria Kempinska, who invited him to perform at the London Hippodrome where Grammy award winner Billie Laurie said that the young rapper “Definitely has hit songs”! 

After receiving more votes than 100 fellow artists, Jake picked up the ‘Audience Choice’ Award at the 2017 ‘New Music Generator Awards’. He also won the ‘Male Act of the Year Award’ at ‘The International Achievers Awards’ the following year. As the momentum began to build, Jake’s music was selected for licensing by ‘Road Trip Nation’ (a US television series). Whilst receiving critical acclaim for his hip hop-influenced sound, it was the country-pop genre that began to peak Jake’s interest. Inspired by American country artists, such as Kane Brown & Dan + Shay, Jake decided to take singing lessons and began incorporating country music into his songs. The new sound helped Jake to secure airplay on BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Radio Cambridge. His Pop-Country songs have amassed 70,000 streams on Spotify to date. 
	
Jake embraces the joviality of pop and combines it with a splash of country in his new track ‘Down’. The evocative song is filled with raw honesty, genuineness, and sincerity for the underdog. The track is produced by Nashville based Simon Reid and was co-written by multi-instrumentalist David Edward Booth.

“I’ve always wanted to write songs that are close to my heart. Songs with a meaning, that I believe in, and a message that I can stand for. I really hope that my achievements (despite the odds being stacked against me) will help remind others to never give up and that anything is possible”. - Jake Aldridge.

Despite starting his career with a lack of natural rhythm, he went on to become an award-winning musician picking up multiple awards in the best artist category.

“Having been an independent music artist caught between genres for nearly two decades, I have received more than my fair share of criticism. One thing that the industry has taught me is the importance of being thick skinned and developing the ability of staying true to myself”. - Jake Aldridge.

I’ll Be There’ was the first track that I released in 2015 and it’s available for fans to download for free. :-) The track came about when Isolationz sent me the original instrumental at the end of 2014. Instantly, I fell in love with the beat and started to write the song. I could hear an almost  ‘angel’ like sound on the chorus and I knew I needed to have a female vocalist to accomplish this. After stumbling across Amy Clarke’s SoundCloud page, I reached out to her about the possibility of a collaboration. She loved the track and even confessed that she came up with her vocal harmony for it whilst in the shower. During a recording session with Amy, her talents as a vocalist were evident. She laid down take after take and it all seemed pretty effortless for her. She didn’t even get too annoyed with my knit picking ;-) Amy works very closely with another producer – Mark Ferguson.

Mark took a listen to the track and had offered to record Amy’s vocals himself. After meeting with Mark on a few separate occasions, It was easy to see how much he was feeling the track and what an amazing producer he himself was too. (I’ve never seen so many keyboards in all my life) Mark started to get more involved with the track, lending his ideas with regards to the structure and the layout of the song. He played a new Drum loop and a Bass line to give the song that extra lift and helped to cut & snip all of the vocals as well as tidying everything else up with me.

We really took our time in perfecting this track and after sending it away to be professionally mixed and mastered, I sent the finished product back to Isolationz, and he was loving it :-)

I really hope that you are too :-) x

R&B/Hip-Hop artist Jake Aldridge, re-unites with his childhood friend Kelly Jenns, for this emotionally charged Hip-Hop track which is about love, betrayal & restoration. The brand new single features production from the California based Johann Elliott.

It’s been a bumper year for young musical artist, 27 year old Jake Aldridge, who announces the release of his best work yet with new single, Pieces Of Me, which has been released to I.tunes.

Aldridge, who is from Suffolk in the UK, has been busy building his credentials. This year he has seen his music video for previous single, Give You The World, which was filmed in Spain, go to number one on the VTYO video charts.

He has signed a publishing deal with Leopard Music, a synchronisation deal with Go DIY Records and also secured a sponsorship deal with Asian-based RudeBoy Clothing Line. He also became the first artist outside of the US to win a feature competition hosted by music blog, Daily Hip Hop Jamz, receiving more votes than anyone else.

His music career came about rather unexpectedly after losing his father when Jake was 11 years old; he eventually turned to his diary as a way to cope with his grief. He started out with a £12 Microphone and a pop shield made from a sock.

Today, Jake Aldridge is a professional singer in his own right, racking up over 100,000 plays online and working with some top names in the industry to write and produce music.

Jake’s new single, Pieces of Me, promises to be his best work of his 10-year career and it doesn’t fail to deliver. Featuring incredible singer and childhood friend of Jake’s, Kelly Jenns, the song has a catchy piano tune, smooth raps and flawless lyrics that are typical of Aldridge’s style. Together with Kelly’s melodic overtones, this track makes for a clean, modern RnB-meets-Hip-Hop sound.

He commented: "I think this may be my best work yet. I was over the moon to have Kelly involved. She was such a huge part of my life when I was growing up and for us to re-unite in this way, really was incredible. Producer Johann Elliott did an amazing job and since this was a first-time collaboration for us, communicating between the UK & California, we're overwhelmed with the result.”

Having gone to number 1 on Zone Radio’s Top 40 Charts, getting his track played on Play Boy TV daily and receiving airplay on Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape, Jake Aldridge returns with ‘Fireman’ featuring Lisa Ambrose. Fusing RnB and hip-hop, Aldridge tells the captivating story of losing the person you love, a theme he is all too familiar with after losing his own father at the age of 11.

Watch the music video for ‘Fireman’ here:
https://youtu.be/UDV-XkbXIhs

When Jake was 11, his father passed away in a tragic accident, forcing him to later use music as a form of therapy. Unlike many musicians, music wasn’t in Jake’s blood but as he began to write, he discovered he was a confident lyricist and started to master rapping. Music became a positive way of expressing his emotions as well as offering others a form of comfort.

‘Fireman’ features the singer-songwriter Lisa Ambrose, who recently won Battle Of The Bandstands, hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Rob The Bank. This led to Ambrose supporting Mark Ronson and now collaborating with Jake Aldridge. Inspired by the likes of Tupac Shakur and Dr Dre, Jake believes his music is entirely honest and offers his fans an insight to his life and emotions. The song has been produced by Ninety II, an up and coming producer from Bristol.

The Underdog

Jake Aldridge - The Underdog feat. J.J Leone

Spotify: tinyurl.com/GullibleSpotify

Multi award-winning hip-hop artist Jake Aldridge’s’ new single, Gullible is inspired by his new-found love of country music. 

Due for release on January 6th, the song features guest vocals from country singer Kezia Gill. It was produced by multi-instrumentalist Ben Haynes and artist RedNek, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Tinie Tempah. 

Aldridge says: “I know this is a big change in direction for me, but since I’ve been exposed to country music, I’ve come to fall in love with its instrumentation, as well as the overall sound. I’m so excited for my fans to hear what I’m confident is my best song to date.” 

Aldridge won Male Act of the Year at the 2018 International Achievers’ Awards, and received the Audience Choice Award at last year’s New Music Generator (NMG) Awards, at which he took more votes than 100 other artists. He described this as the proudest moment of his musical career to date. 

The 30-year-old has played on US and UK network TV, including a documentary featuring Michelle Obama, and has been backed by BBC Introducing, who have played his tracks dozens of times, while his music has also aired on BBC Radio 6.

Aldridge was brought up in Reydon, Suffolk with two siblings, and was born to a Bangladeshi father and Canadian mother who met in Wimbledon. But Jake was just 11 when his father was killed after being struck by lightning during a family fishing trip, and this life changing and defining event has informed much of his work since, for example Aldridge’ 2011 single Heaven was about his father. 

• The music and video for Gullible are set for release on January 6th.

Award winning hip-hop artist Jake Aldridge is taking the leap of a lifetime as he leaves Rap behind for the release of his first Country-Pop song, ‘Partners in Crime’. 

Composed by Matt Knight, former right-hand man of chart-topping producer Andy Whitmore, Partners In Crime was released on 17th April 2020. Co-written with David Booth, Jake’s mentor throughout his transition of rapping to singing, the song features backing vocals by Leanne Louise. The new single is devilishly cheeky, with the change in genre exposing Jake’s mischievous side.

“It’s a huge change, singing in general is scary as hell for me! I’ve fallen in love with Country music though and one thing that hasn’t changed, is my eagerness to only release music that I’m passionate about”.

Just 15 minutes from Ed Sheerans hometown, Aldridge was brought up in Reydon, Suffolk with his two siblings, and was born to a Bangladeshi father and Canadian mother. Jake was just eleven when his father was killed after being struck by lightning during a family fishing trip.

Struggling to deal with his bereavement, Aldridge began writing poetry. Having grown up to handed down cassette tapes of rappers from the late 90’s, he became inspired by Hip-Hop music and eventually turned his poems into raps. 

Aldridge first became intrigued by Country music when he heard Florida Georgia Line’s collaboration with Nelly in 2012, on a remix for their song ‘Cruise’. Subtly, Jake began to incorporate elements of the genre into his own music. Jake’s song, ‘Gullible’, for example, was very much a hybrid of the two genres featuring country vocals by BCMA award winner, Kezia Gill,

Aldridge won Male Act of the Year at the 2018 International Achievers’ Awards and beat more than 100 other artists to the Audience Choice Award at the 2017 New Music Generator (NMG) Awards. The 32-year-old’s music later aired on U.S television in a documentary titled ‘Beating the Odds’. Featuring Michelle Obama, the series follows American students on a cross-country road trip helping young people to find career and life fulfilment.

Award winning rapper-turned-singer, Jake Aldridge, unveiled more than just an engagement ring when he proposed to his now fiancée, two years after meeting her through an online dating app. 

Aldridge began exchanging messages with former Slimming World consultant, Lisa Hartgrove, in January 2018 via the online dating app, Tinder. The pair, who even share the same birthday, now have their very own song as well! 

After a successful proposal earlier this year, Jake played Lisa his new track, ‘King of The World’, a heartfelt country-pop song he had written for her.

The music for ‘King of The World’ was co-produced by Argentinian music producer, Dam Dominici, and Suffolk-based, multi-instrumentalist, David Booth. 

Just 15 minutes from Ed Sheeran’s hometown, Aldridge was brought up in Reydon (Suffolk) with his two siblings. He was born to a Bangladeshi father and Canadian mother. Jake was just eleven years old when his father was killed after being struck by lightning during a family fishing trip.

Rapper-turned-singer Jake Aldridge is one of the most intriguing British artists in recent years. Despite starting his career with a lack of natural rhythm, he went on to become an award-winning musician picking up multiple awards in the best artist category. Wishing to inspire those facing adversity, Jake’s upcoming Pop-Country single ‘Down’, is a tribute to, and a celebration of, ‘The underdog’. A title he is all too familiar with. 

At 11 years old, Jake experienced a traumatic loss when his father was struck by lightning during a family fishing trip. The tragedy became the catalyst for a budding career in the music industry as he began writing songs as a way of expressing himself. Living in Reydon (a small coastal village in Suffolk) Jake began collaborating with local music producers who helped him to discover a sense of rhythm. 

Eventually, Jake began to release songs into the public domain. His singles ‘Erotic’ and ‘Falling’ received regular rotation on Sky’s Playboy television channels. Jake’s music ultimately caught the attention of Dingwall’s owner Maria Kempinska, who invited him to perform at the London Hippodrome where Grammy award winner Billie Laurie said that the young rapper “Definitely has hit songs”! 

After receiving more votes than 100 fellow artists, Jake picked up the ‘Audience Choice’ Award at the 2017 ‘New Music Generator Awards’. He also won the ‘Male Act of the Year’ Award at ‘The International Achievers Awards’ the following year. As the momentum began to build, Jake’s music was selected for licensing by ‘Road Trip Nation’ (a US television series). Whilst receiving critical acclaim for his hip hop-influenced sound, it was the country-pop genre that began to peak Jake’s interest. Inspired by American country artists, such as Kane Brown & Dan + Shay, Jake decided to take singing lessons and began incorporating country music into his songs. The new sound helped Jake to secure airplay on BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Radio Cambridge. His Pop-Country songs have amassed 70,000 streams on Spotify to date. 
	
Jake embraces the joviality of pop and combines it with a splash of country in his new track ‘Down’. The evocative song is filled with raw honesty, genuineness, and sincerity for the underdog. The track is produced by Nashville based Simon Reid and was co-written by multi-instrumentalist David Edward Booth.

“I’ve always wanted to write songs that are close to my heart. Songs with a meaning that I believe in, and a message that I can stand for. I hope that my achievements (despite the odds being stacked against me) will help remind others to never give up and that anything is possible”. - Jake Aldridge.
