Today, multi instrumentalist and producer, Jake Knox releases his debut EP, In Between, via independent release. In the past, Knox's music has been categorized as "not poppy enough for pop" or "too pop for indie" amongst many others, always finding himself and his music to not fit into any particular box, but rather, In Between, what they want him to be. Instead of molding to fit in those boxes, Jake decided to stick true to his process, only changing things to serve the songs and the emotion, not others' expectations.
IN BETWEEN
Rewind to 2018. Jake felt pressured by the music industry to deliver content in a way that strips emotion from the process and treats the audience soley like consumers. He realized the direction of his craft was leading to the destruction of his soul. That is when he built an 8x8 box, put all of his inspiration in it, and began to work on the 2019 EP In Between.
During this time he went through a wave of anxiety, depression, and withdrawal from the world, and began to explore his soul. On this journey he got lost, and is slowly using his music to find his way back home. In Between is about feeling lost and finding yourself.
