Dancing with the dissonance

Psychedelic-EleKtRO-FUNK

Fueled by his passion to communicate and help others on a deep level, Jake Elmendorf went to his love for music. What started as a joke, using music and writing songs to talk to girls, came to be the clearest form of expressing himself in ways that he couldn’t normally. It’s his best form of communication. Jake with his music strives to have a positive impact on every listener. Each song is structured with a message of caring, self-love, and empowerment hidden in the lyrics. With goals to reach as many people as possible, his true joy comes from understanding real success comes from impacting even one person with his songs.
Jake Elmendorf is a bilingual singer/songwriter driven primarily with piano and vocals that aids a killer live performance. Jake finds himself in the Pop/R&B realm while occasionally sticking his toes in the Pop/EDM and Hip-Hop genres. With sounds like Justin Bieber and flows like Khalid, Marc E. Bassy, Bazzi, and Shawn Mendes, Jake is sure to end up bringing you a fresh new perspective to all of your favorite styles of music.

I'm a listener, just that, but...when I go with my friends to a little cafe in Mexico....I just put this page and share all the fabolous music, thanks
