He started playing guitar when he was 12, and began song-writing at 14. Hailing from Nottingham, England, the young rocker ditched doing school concerts and dove right into the pub and club scenes at age 16. Although it was quite diffucult booking gigs because he was underage (18 being the legal age,) his first studio gig commenced as an accident. Mistakenly recording a track after his cousion, Ian, a band for which he played bass and guitar for, left the mic on, and his recording of “Trouble Town” eventually made its way to Mercury Records execs.
Jake released his self-titled debut album, mostly penned with fam bam member Iain Archer. Released in the fall of 2012, he shot to superstardom overseas reaching number one on the UK Charts.
Now having just unleashed his sophmore album, “Shangri La”, a few months back, Jake only continues to solidify his position as the new head-master of Rock n’ Roll as a new generation of rock n rollers emerge. Recording with legendary producer Rick Rubin, in Malibu California, Bugg announced his new single, “What Doesn’t Kill You”. The record is named after the studio in which Bugg recorded it.
