Here’s A Bio On Him And How He Came About Doing Music Today.
Biography:
Stars Are Born Not made. With A Soul Made Up Of Dedication, Ambition And Drive. 14 Year-Old, Jacob Latimore, A True Triple Threat; Is Proving Whatever He Sets His Mind To Do He Will Succeed.
Growing up around music, singing is in his genes. The young singer's father and uncles make up the inspirational quartet, The Latimore Brothers. At age five, the talented Milwaukee native discovered the movie, The Temptations; watching it every day, perfecting and emulating the songs he heard and the dance moves he saw. After watching in amazement the first performance of boy band group B2K, he taught himself their choreography by studying the videotape his mom brought him. Jacob had developed a serious discipline for the craft of dance.
In 2005, at 9-years old, Jacob had made up in his mind that he wanted to pursue a career in music. With the support and help from his parents, he teamed up with local Milwaukee producers, who produced his first song, "Best Friend". Several local DJ's and radio stations caught wind of the song, and founder of the Core DJ's, Tony Neal stamped him as, "the next kid star!" Jacobs buzz continued to build around the city as his mom booked him shows at local events and festivals, and schools. However, his career really took flight when Radio Disney picked up his song “Best Friend”. Jacob was then featured on the station's Incubator program, which profiles promising young artists around the country. Through Incubator, Jacob booked shows with other Radio Disney favorites such as B5, to booking his first ever-national television performance on the Maury Povich Show, after producers saw a video of him on his MySpace page.
Jacobs parents and management agreed that in order to take Jacob’s career to the next level, it would be ideal to move him to Atlanta, in 2007 Jacob’s team immediately set up a showcase to introduce him to Atlanta music and media executives and tastemakers. Word spread that Jacob was the kid to see, the showcase attracted Grammy producer Rodney Jerkins to R&B singer Lloyd. Jacob continued to make even more noise as his single, "Superstar", produced by production team Corna Boys & written by Rico Love charted on the Billboard R&B and Hip Hop Sales Charts with little to no promotion.
The natural born performer has been pounding the pavement leaving crowds in awe, even impressing his idols, Usher and Mario. "Before I get on stage, my adrenaline is always pumping hard. The screams from the crowd get me excited!" After being courted by numerous record label executives, Jacob signed with Jive Records in March 2010 and brought in powerhouse managers Larry Rudolph and Jeremy Geffen.
Jacob’s natural talent as an actor makes up his triple threat status. After being discovered by talent agent, Joy Pervis (Dakota Fanning, Lucas Till) in 2008, Jacob booked several commercials, voice-overs, episodic, and his first lead role in the feature film, "Vanishing on 7th Street”, which is slated for US release in early 2011. After the films debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2010, Jacob got awesome reviews for his performance as one film critic quotes, “audiences are treated to newcomer Jacob Latimore who is nothing short of fantastic. In bringing a braveness and a vulnerability to the role of a 12 year old boy, Latimore is in many ways the true hero of the film.” Jacob has also been attached to star in the up-coming feature film, “The Untitled Pele’ Movie”, based on the famous Brazilian soccer player. Production is slated to start mid 2011.
Jacob feels like this is what he was born to do, "I give all credit to God, he gave me this gift, and I am so excited to see what other doors he is going to open for me!"

About A Year Ago I Have Actually Had The Chance To Interview Jacob Latimore First Hand On BlogTalkRadio (Which Is A Online Radio Show For Anyone Who Does Not Know)… At That Time He Was Being Interviewed About His New Album “I Am The Future” Which Featured Such Songs As “I Am The Future”, “I Go Hard” And “Following My Dreams”... Till This Day I Still Listen To Those Songs. They’re A Personal Favorite Of Mines.
Since The Last Time That I Have Had To Pleasure Of Speaking With Jacob He Has Done So Much And Even Then This Young Artist Was Full Of Enthusiasm And Energy. Just Recently He Has Released A New Song Called “Like Em All” Ft. Diggy Simmons. That Song Has Landed Him On The Front Page of Jive Records… (http://www.jiverecords.com/ ) & (Now Available On Itunes).
Not Only Is This Handsome You Man On The Front Of Jive Records, But He Has Also Just Released The Video For That Particular Single. I Have Personally Watched It (Which You Can Too In Jus A Few) And My Opinion: “I Was Happy With It Because It Still Had That Young Kid Feel. They Weren’t Trying To Make Him Older Then He Was. Even Diggy Simons Part Was All Young And Not A Lot Of Girls In Short Skirts And Bikini Tops.” Two Thumbs Up For That Video…
What’s On The Agenda Next For This New Upcoming Artist?
Well You’re Just Going To Have To Wait And See. But I’m Sure Whatever It Is, We Are Definitely In For A Treat… View Video Below:
