Soul. Reggae. Folk. R&B. Jacob ONeill doesn't pick a lane, he builds his own. No genre owns him, and no single sound defines him. He takes what moves him and makes it his, something raw, something new, something the world hasn't quite heard before.

The Artist
Jacob ONeill is a Birmingham-born soul, reggae and R&B artist who's been performing locally for over 20 years. Earlier this year, a TikTok cover he posted went viral, racking up over 1.5 million views in a single day.
Since then, Jacob has been channelling that momentum into original music, working closely with producers to shape a sound that blends warm, soulful songwriting with R&B and garage influences. What sets him apart is the authenticity behind the 20 years of real stage experience and a genuine connection to his sound, rather than an overnight invention. Jacob is building a career rooted in Birmingham, bringing a timeless, heartfelt style to a new generation of listeners.
