New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The future is bright for 27 year old Jake Aldridge, who has come a long way from his humble beginnings in the world of music as he announces his new single; Give You The World will have a music video filmed abroad.
Starting out ten years ago with a £12 microphone and a pop shield made from a sock, Jake has had to learn from the roots of the industry as his introduction to his music career came about rather unexpectedly.
After losing his father when Jake was 11 years old, he turned to his diary as a way to cope with his grief. He found he could rhyme words which turned in to short raps that he eventually plucked up the courage to perform in front of his friends.
Jake Aldridge has now racked up 100,000 plays online and has worked with some top names in the industry to write and produce music that has an RnB-meets-Hip-Hop sound.
Jake has achieved national and international radio plays including his latest release, which was aired on Tom Robinson's BBC Introducing Mixtape. His music is now playing on four British television channels as he recently signed a publishing deal with Leopard Music.
Jake is now set for a video shoot in Spain, and despite the release being self-funded; he has defended his decision to shell out for the project.
"It's really not about money for me. I take my music life very seriously but I don't make decisions from a business perspective. I am doing this for the fans, for my core supporters. I put them first when making decisions. Some of these people have followed me since the days of Myspace, they've watched me grow as an artist and I know just how much they would love to see a new music video from outside of the UK."
Give You The World is set for release on Sunday 2nd of August and the music video will follow ONE week later, on the 9th of August.
