Meet Jake Davey, a creative force with music flowing through his veins, hailing from the picturesque Mid-North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. With an innate talent and a drive that knows no bounds, Jake has emerged as one of the country's most versatile young artists.
Unfazed by his own humility, Jake effortlessly wears multiple hats in the music industry. As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, videographer, and mixing engineer, he possesses a combination of unique skills. In the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, Jake's adaptability has proven to be a valuable asset, setting him apart.
Fuelled by an unwavering work ethic, Jake's full schedule is a testament to his passion and dedication. Whether producing, writing, or captivating audiences at festivals, he is committed to making an impact within his day-to-day life.
Drawing inspiration from musicians like Old Dominion, Dan + Shay, and Jordan Davis, Jake has honed his craft, gravitating towards a polished, modern country sound that leaves a lasting impression. His musical journey took a giant leap forward in 2019 with the release of his debut original single, 'On Your Mind,' swiftly landing a spot on Spotify’s esteemed 'Country Chill' Playlist. Following this success, 'The Way She Does' and ‘Admire’ both made their way onto the renowned 'Fresh Country' Playlist, and his singles have graced Apple Music's 'Country Lovin' and 'Aussie Country' Playlists.
Jake's undeniable talent and unwavering dedication have led to bookings at major festivals, including Groundwater, Wingham Music Festival, Savannah In The Round, Tamworth Country Music Festival, and Country at the Beach. Along his journey, he has shared the stage with and supported respected artists such as Diesel, Daryl Braithwaite, Rick Price, Kasey Donovan, Kirsty-Lee Akers, Taylor Henderson, Travis Collins, and The Viper Creek Band.
2020 brought Jake the prestigious 'Travis Collins Scholarship,' granting him the opportunity to attend the esteemed CMAA Academy in Tamworth. This experience became a turning point in his growth as an artist. Following his time at the academy, Jake secured his first-ever publishing deal with Kobalt Music.
Undeterred by the challenges of the pandemic, Jake's prolific releases culminated in his recognition as a top 10 finalist in the Toyota Star Maker competition in 2022. This milestone further fuelled his desire to immerse himself in the music community and embark on an intense co-writing journey in Nashville, setting the stage for a future brimming with exciting release prospects.
In 2023, Davey experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, marked by the highs of an unforgettable writing trip to Nashville and the lows of undergoing emergency spinal surgery and being diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome—a debilitating spinal cord injury jeopardizing not just his mobility but also his ability to pursue his passion for music.
Fast forward to 2024, and the outlook is notably more promising. Despite the challenges, Jake has been diligently applying himself to an intensive recovery routine, striving for the best possible outcome. With his latest single, "Second Chance," out now, over 1.3 million streams on his music to date, an extensive list of show dates to be unveiled including a national tour supporting Travis Collins, It’s proof that he is not only bouncing back but soaring to new heights. The unbreakable spirit of Jake is evident as he refuses to let setbacks slow his momentum.
