Description
Since 2022, Gabriel Jacoby has supplied listeners with captivating singles, including “the one,” “baby,” “be careful,” “hillside,” and the gently melodic “forever”—all of which have surpassed one million streams across platforms. Now 27, Jacoby released his debut EP gutta child in November 2025, marking a defining moment in his career. Born in rural Anderson, South Carolina, and raised in a family of artists, he began playing piano at a young age before expanding into bass, drums, guitar, and production after relocating to Tampa, Florida. By his teens, Jacoby was recording in a home studio and sharing music on SoundCloud, with early rap-driven tracks like 2016’s “Mr. Poet” earning six-figure streams. A brief incarceration during his youth proved formative, shaping his perspective and deepening his commitment to using his voice with intention.
gutta child earned widespread critical acclaim from NPR, Billboard, The FADER, Stereogum, PASTE, and more, with its standout track “be careful”—a bluesy love song layered with deeper meaning—also marking Jacoby’s debut performance on COLORS. The momentum continued as Jacoby toured as the sole supporting act across all dates on Khamari’s sold-out To Dry a Tear North American Tour, capping off what has become a breakthrough year and cementing his rise as an artist guided by purpose.
