Jacob Lusk, a Brit Award nominee known for his collaboration with Sir Elton John, seems to be humbly unaware of his growing star power. Despite his success and recognition in the music industry, he remains refreshingly down to earth. The 36-year-old Gabriels singer, who captured the hearts of many at the Glastonbury Festival alongside Elton John, never sought fame when he embarked on his musical journey. His disbelief in his own accomplishments is evident as he states, “It still feels a bit surreal. I can’t believe that this has happened to me.”
Jacob Lusk, along with Ari Balouzian and Ryan Hope, formed Gabriels in 2016. This genre-fusing trio has since released two successful albums, toured with renowned artists like Celeste, and graced the stage of the UK’s most prominent music festival. Their hard work and dedication have now earned them a Brit Award nomination for International Group of the Year, a well-deserved recognition for their musical prowess.
Hailing from Compton, California, Jacob Lusk’s velvety vocals have often drawn comparisons to iconic artists like Nina Simone. His journey from working with a church choir to forming Gabriels with his bandmates has been nothing short of inspiring. Their debut EP, “Love and Hate in a Different Time,” released in 2021, caught the attention of none other than Sir Elton John, who described it as “one of the most seminal records I’ve heard in the past ten years.”
As the Brit Awards ceremony approaches on 2nd March at the O2 in London, Jacob Lusk is gearing up for a night amongst the brightest talents in the music industry. Excited about his upcoming performances and collaborations, he remains humble yet eager to share his music with the world. With gigs lined up and new music in the works, Jacob and Gabriels are poised to leave a lasting impact on the music scene.
Having already landed in the UK, Jacob Lusk is looking forward to exploring London’s iconic landmarks with friends and family who will be joining him for the Brit Awards. From Westminster Abbey to the London Eye, he is eager to soak in the cultural richness of the city. Alongside his bandmates, he is set to perform at various venues, including a disco-inspired set at the Warner Music Brit Awards afterparty at the NoMad Hotel in Covent Garden.
As Gabriels continues to work on new music and collaborations, Jacob Lusk remains dedicated to creating great music and sharing it with the world. With a passion for his craft and an unwavering commitment to his artistry, Jacob and Gabriels are on a trajectory towards greater success and influence in the music industry.
