Jacob Fehlhaber is a multi-instrumentalist who started piano at age five, picking up the drums, the guitar, and digital production by 18. Raised on an assemblage of ‘70s and ‘80s rock, he ventured out into numerous genres to find a balanced interest in music of all kinds with a predilection for what some might call “heavy metal disco.” As a writer, his interests are found in understanding artistry and process, and getting at the nebulous ideas that underpin creative projects of any kind. He graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington, with a degree in fashion design. Following a brief stint of fashion marketing, in Los Angeles, he obtained an M.A. from New York University, focusing on ethnomusicology. Off the clock, he enjoys reading, writing, video games, and cooking with his significant other.
