JACOB CHRISTOPHER UNDERWOOD

A native of California, Jacob has always dreamed of a career in music and idolized Michael Jackson while growing up. His involvement from age 12 with the Christian Youth Theater (a musical theater group in San Diego) and his love of guitar provided ideal training for his career today. After high school, Jacob joined a touring Christian music group called Primary Focus, and also built guitars for the Taylor Guitar Company. A friend convinced him to audition in LA for Making The Band. A strong singer, songwriter (Jacob co-wrote “American Game” with Dan, "Take Me Under" with Tony Harrison and Dakari and "Meant For You") and guitar player, Jacob's rock preferences and intense performance style bring a unique focus to the band.
