Early years[edit]
Jakob Balogh was born in Munich, Germany, on November 10, 1989. His father was a classical guitar teacher and his mother was playing flute and singing in choirs so Jakob got in touch with music very early and started taking classical piano lessons at a young age. He attended the SAE Institute in Munich and studied audio engineering from 2010-2013.
After three years of studying, Balogh was employed at Jazzclub Unterfahrt, where he worked as a live technician & mixing engineer with various musicians. One of his most special moments there was working with a big band conducted by Al Porcino, who is known for working with Frank Sinatra back in the days.
Before writing music for moving image, Jakob toured with his band, composed instrumentals and wrote lyrics for various pop and hip hop artists in Germany.
