about jacob

Jacob Khalil’s music is the soundtrack to your best life. A singer-songwriter who lifts the spirits of any audience, with “a voice that soothes the soul.” - FOX 5 NY

Jacob’s singular brand of sunshine soul creates what Broadway World referred to as a “joyful experiencing of the music, with patrons clapping, singing, and swaying along.”

Since moving to New York from Salt Lake City in 2020, the Houston native has become a staple of New York City nightlife. In 2023 he sang alongside Sam Smith on Saturday Night Live. Since his sold-out Birdland debut in March 2022, Jacob has been invited back to the club multiple times, including filling in for Grammy winning singer-pianist Billy Stritch at his weekly residency.

Jacob’s anticipated debut single Rest Of My Life (ROML) was released January 2024, preceding an album that will release in the summer. Jacob performs all over NYC in venues like Birdland, City Winery, The Cutting Room, Rockwood, 54 Below, and many others. He tours nationally to performing arts centers, clubs, and music festivals.
