Biography

Jacob Golden (*Mid 70s, Sacramento, CA) is an American songwriter/singer/guitarist. Since leaving his former band Birthday in 2000 he is a solo artist and collaborated with different electronica musicians and producers.

Now he’s residing in Silverlake, LA. Debut album ‘Hallelujah World’ was released in 2002 on Rough Trade and received great press write-ups internationally. Also appeared on the Faultline album ‘Your Love Means Everything’ in 2002/2004 (EMI), where he performed backing vocals to Michael Stipe on the track ‘Greenfields’ and played guitar on the track ‘Where Is My Boy?’ performed by Chris Martin. A move to Portland, Oregon and now Silverlake inspired the writing of his second album, ‘Revenge Songs’.

David Kosten from Faultline proved instrumental in helping Jacob bring ‘Revenge Songs’, to the public, with plans to make the album available on his own label in the UK, and helping Jacob find a licensee for the album around the world. He was also responsible for bringing Jacob to the attention of Chrysalis Music CEO Jeremy Lascelles, who after a short acoustic performance in his LA hotel room, signed Jacob to the publishing company. Jeremy previously championed Ray LaMontagne and Bat for Lashes.
