About Me

It all started with great grannys old piano. She left it to Jake in her will, not because he showed promise, but because he was the only one in the large Irish family not to thump the hell out of it!
However Jake didnt learn to play that piano. Dyslexia turned grannys sheet music into a sea of meaningless dots, which Jake would join together to make the face of his music teacher, until she washed her hands of him.
But Jake knew he could play, he just had to find a way to learn. Every Saturday morning at kids theatre, nine-year-old Jake would lie under the baby grand, memorising how the chords were formed and how they sounded, until he too could play the tunes in his head.
Out of this came a stripped, raw and sensitive musicality, unconventional in its roots yet fresh in its presence. A young man documents his rite of passage, paved with heartache, family disputes and finding Jake, concluding in his album (released in 2006). Jake Hook is a musician who sheds new light on the concept of the singer-songwriter. As for Grannys old piano, it has been by his side ever since.
