Yes, there is always obstacles especially in the music industry. From getting shows to learning how to produce music, everything is constantly evolving. There is a constant change of trends which myself as an artist to be adaptable and make my own sound. Making a switch temporally from LA to Hawaii was a huge factor in building my brand.

My name is Jake Leach aka Jakaii Artist & music producer from San Pedro, California. I moved to the sandy beaches of Hawaii in 2020 to attend University of Hawaii Manoa and started to work in the music industry to get by. I owe so much to the island of Hawaii and the community that helped shaped me into the person I’am today. Since then, I have traveled the world playing from Las Vegas, Reno , Seattle , Hawaii and many more places. I have supported legendary artists like Steve Aoki, Illenium, ARMNHMR , Disco Lines and plenty more. Proving my style of tech house music and unforgettable stage presence during my live shows are undoubulty one of a kind. As a 22 year old I have built a buisness off my brand letting me grow as an independent artist working on putting out more music on bigger labels and playing huge stages around the world. I’am most proud of my headline acts throwing my own shows in Hawaii and selling them out. It has brought me fulliment through my music by making new connections with fans and spreading positivity. Dance music is tunneling my passion in the world. I’am really about this life and work for it 24/7 my train is moving I can’t wait for everyone to join the ride.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My favorite childhood memory was winning CIF in football as a varsity athlete playing strong safety beating Dorsey my junior year 22-20. Football taught me reps makes you better. Having courage to undoubtedly be yourself is the biggest strength any person can gain and achieve from.
