Jakob Morelli - An old soul of music.
As a guitarist, bass player, and drummer, Morelli has been creating music his entire life. A third-generation professional musician who learned from his father and grandfather.

One of Morelli's first memories is when he was five years old and his dad would bring him into local establishments to sing and play the blues on an adult-size guitar. His godfather Howie Blauvelt, played bass and sang with Billy Joel and the Hassels, and also with Ram Jam ("Black Betty"). Morelli has taken these formative influences and become an international performer, studio musician, songwriter, producer, and engineer.

Morelli has appeared such artists and/or members of: Roberta Flack, K'Naan, Jay Z, Kanye West, NERD, Common, Musiq Soulchild, Incubus, Chubb Rock, Q-Tip, John Legend, Suicidal Tendencies, T.M Stevens, P-Diddy, Keysha Cole, Tye Tribett, Ginuwine, Mary J Blige, Roots, Steve Vai, Joe Cocker, Bilal, Vivian Green, Kindred, Jaguar, Floetry, JazzyfatNastees, and Jill Scott.

Morelli has been most recently touring (with K'Naan) and performing in front of tens of thousands around the world. Within his travels he had the distinct pleasure of playing on Jimmy Kimmel, and for the King of Morocco. Morelli was the music director for Ivy Chanel (the sister of DJ Cash Money), a London-based artist. The band Brass Heaven, one of many projects Morelli is involved with, is half way through recording their first release, which includes guest appearances by Gerald Veasley, Kindred, Floetry, Musiq, Darrius Rucker, and Lupe Fiasco. They have performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York, with the Roots, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, and Jay Z.

Morelli has written three songs that are featured on Nokia's Web site, as well as a song placed on The Golf Channel's Project Haney, Featuring Charles Barkley. He has also had the great pleasure of recently recording for Michael Jackson and Roberta Flack.
