Jacob Soucy Biography
Jacob Soucy is a trumpeter, composer, and producer based in Toronto, writing and performing original Jazz/Funk music that reflects the 2020s.
Born in Vancouver just prior to the turn of the millennium, Soucy has been surrounded by music since birth, listening to his mom host radio shows and watching his dad play keyboards and record music from home. Soon after picking up the trumpet in grade 5 concert band, Jacob’s family moved to Vernon, British Columbia, where he simultaneously thrived in his high school’s jazz band while learning to make Hip-Hop beats in GarageBand. Jacob eventually dug deeper into studying music theory and improvisation, and began writing instrumental tunes inspired by Roy Hargrove, Vulfpeck, Kiefer, and other Jazz/Funk artists.
Now with a Bachelor of Music from Humber College, Jacob has his sights set on finishing his debut full-length album while developing his live shows and working as a freelance trumpet player and producer in Toronto. Joined by colleagues who all met in the second half of the 2010s, artists and bandleaders themselves, Jacob’s band is made up of a who’s who in up-and-coming Toronto artists.
