Biography
Like many teenagers Chris Jacobson started playing the guitar when he was 16 years old. He performed in bands like Knightmare, The Daffodils, The Bridge and many more. Chris’s musical odyssey has taken him across Flanders. A sustainability professional by day and a family man, in his free time his passion for music remained unwavering.
Through the years, as bands and lineups flowed from one into the other, Chris’ passion for sound and lyrics only grew stronger.
He taught himself to play bass, keyboards and drums, learnt all he could about recording and mixing techniques and built his home studio in Antwerp Belgium. For decades he never stopped writing and recording music and the musical material piled up high.
The Corona Crisis
Then came corona. The lock down was horrible in a lot of ways, but it made Chris decide it was finally time to do something with all that material. He selected thirteen songs that really stood out from the rest and rearranged and mixed them from scratch into the album ‘Heart of Darkness.’
Each of the songs on this album explores different soundscapes but Chris carefully crafted a unique sonic flavor to the album as a whole. The first single ‘Face in the Mirror’ was released on 11 October 2023 and gives a preview of this flavor. The second single ‘To Live (is to love)’ came out on 5 May 2024 and shows a completely different sonic palette.
The full album ’Heart of Darkness,’ will follow in 2024.
A band of new and old friends
In 2020, to create a live experience, based, but not identical to the music of ‘Heart of Darkness’, Chris has gathered old and new musician friends.
