For Jake Speikers, the Minneapolis-based indie pop artist, the magic of music has always been in finding the middle ground between the deeply personal and the ultra-universal.

Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, Jake was initially drawn to the Minneapolis performing scene—going on to pursue an acting career at a very young age. Around 12 years old, however, he discovered something he loved even more than acting: writing and creating music.

After months and years of exploring and navigating the art form, Jake is now ready to share his sound with the world. Combining the soaring pop melodies of Troye Sivan, Robyn, Taylor Swift, and Carly Rae Jepsen alongside a timeless and confessional songwriting style—Speikers is hoping to carve out his own path and voice in the ever-inspiring indie pop scene.
