Biography

Introduction

Hi! My name is Jacob Ladegaard, and I am a composer and pianist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The name “Jacob’s Piano” originates from my YouTube channel and has now become my primary artist name for all my released works.

In addition to my passion for music, I have also dedicated myself to the realm of education and online entrepreneurship. I am proud to have amassed over 1,700,000 subscribers on YouTube, 360,000 followers on Instagram, and have garnered more than 700,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

At present, my life revolves around creating and recording music, both original compositions and covers, as well as producing content for social media. Furthermore, I am eager to share my knowledge and expertise through online courses available on my main website jacobspiano.com.

Background

I was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1991, and grew up alongside three siblings. We had a piano at home, which I started playing at a young age. At the age of 7, my mother signed me up for lessons. Although I only took lessons for a few years, I am predominantly self-taught.

Initially, it was not clear to me that I would pursue a career in music. I went on to obtain a Master’s Degree in Economics from the University of Copenhagen in 2018. However, during my studies, I worked extensively on the Jacob’s Piano project, which has now become my full-time job.

My Studio

I have built a home studio here in Copenhagen (Denmark) from where I do all my work. See some images below if you are curious to learn more about my work environment.
