JAKE KATZMAN

Hear it…See it…LIVE it!!!

Welcome, Jake! Tell us about your music and acting journey.

Thank you for having me. I excited for this interview. I am 15 years old and been professionally working since I was 6. My first job was a guest star role on Law & Order SVU and that led to working on more television shows, movies, and Broadway.

What do you prefer acting or music?

I love doing it all. They are both challenging and equally awarding.

What instruments do you play?

I sing, play piano, drums, and some guitar. Knowing how to play instruments gave me the tools I needed to write and produce my original music.

What drew you to the music industry?

My fun family. They were always singing and dancing. At anymoment someone will break out in song. It like growing up in a movie musical.

Who are you inspired by?

I am inspired by my papa. He is 73 and still plays in a band. He sings and plays sax and keyboard. Also, I got to work with Billy Porter and Brendon Urie who definitely inspired me to become a better artist.

Please explain your creative process.

I start playing cords on the piano or guitar and that leads into a song. Then sometimes, I transpose them into beats. Last, I write the melody and lyrics.

What’s an average day like for you?

I have school and then I might write music, take music lessons, practice my instruments, or self-tape an audition for acting.

Do you think training is important?

Definitely! I am always learning and improving. I take music lessons for my instruments, music theory, acting lessons, and workshops. It is hard work but worth every second of it.

Is there a hidden meaning in any of your music?

Sometimes I write about songs about what is going on in the world to get people inspired.

Do you collaborate with others?

Yes, I work with a co-producer. It great to work with someone and brainstorm ideas.

What is your favorite part about this line of work?

I love preforming live and expressing myself through my music.

What are some other things you do for fun?

I like to ride my bike, go to Sky Zone, and hangout with my friends. I also like to DJ.

What is your favorite saying?

Imperfection is Perception! Meaning that our imperfections are what make us unique and special! Just strive to do your best and work hard!
