Edit history

Award-winning singer/songwriter/performing artist, Worimi/Gamilaroi man, Jacob Ridgeway is inspired by his childhood passion for RnB melody, authentic Country storytelling and the drive of Hip-Hop production. “I taped over my parent's wedding video to watch Rage when I was 3; Hustled burnt mixtapes out of my school bag in my free time for spending money; I was kicked out of my high school music class and didn’t think about singing let alone a career in music for another 10 years. I didn’t want to be that small-town shoulda', woulda', coulda' pub yarn. I finally felt empowered enough to leave everything I had ever known to become everything I have ever wanted to be.” Jacob has opened, performed or collaborated with artists such as Urthboy, Jessica Mauboy, Troy Cassar-Daley, Ash Grunwald, The Last Kinection and Emily Wurramara. Jacob has been working on new music for release with the 'I'm Not Coming Home' EP due in April 2023
