"Citing everyone from Twenty One Pilots and Bruno Mars to The Story So Far as influences, you know you're in for some surprises with Kulick. Ambient one minute, firing on all cylinders the next, the band tread the line between rock and pop with careful consideration."- Rock Sound
"... shows off quite a bit of musical diversity and sparkles with brilliance. This is definitely an artist to keep your eyes and ears on."- Why You Should Love Music
"This band impressed the hell out of me with their catchy songs, and passionate performance. By the end of the show, they had the entire room in the palm of their hand. Musically they reminded me of a mix of Dashboard confessional and PVRIS, or the perfect mix of pop, emo, folk, punk and dance music. It was a masterful, heartwarming performance."- Ghost Cult Magazine
"With lead singer Jacob Kulick leading the way, the band was really able to get the crowd moving. They ended their set with their newest song "Scatterbrain" which brought the house down."- Empire Extreme
"...powerfully fronted vocals and danceable tunes..."- Galaxy Mag
Originally from West Penn, PA, Jacob Kulick who now goes solely by his surname, turned his tiny closet into his own private music studio at age 12 and began writing and recording songs as a way to cope with his anxiety and the loneliness of being an outcast. "Middle school was a tough time—I went through a lot of bullying, like a lot of people do when they're different in a small town," says the 27-year-old singer/songwriter.
Kulick co-founded a high school band Story of Another, self-produced his own album and went on to study audio engineering at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. He got a job at CBS Radio in New York City and crossed paths with a fellow musician who had a connection at RCA Records. Once he'd landed an introductory meeting with the label, Kulick devoted the next two years to building up his solo material and collaborating with other writers. In summer 2017, those two years of intense creativity led to Kulick signing a deal with RCA/Gold'n Retriever Records.
He released his debut EP Hydroplane in 2018 via Gold'N Retriever/RCA Records, featuring his powerful single "Ghost." In March 2019, he released a new track titled "Scatterbrain," which he explains is a song about, "today's busy society, both young and old, and the battle to stay true to who you are." Since releasing his debut EP, Kulick's garnered almost 3 million streams worldwide and counting.
In all of his songs, Kulick shows his rare ability to turn everyday pain into music that's undeniably life-affirming. He possesses sharp songwriting skills and innate musical talent that he has carefully honed since first learning to play drums and guitar at a young age. He says about songwriting: "I started making music because I felt like I had to get something out of me, although at the time I wasn't even completely sure what that was."
Kulick continues to live in PA where he has found a certain solace in staying close to home, both geographically and in the emotional essence of his songwriting. "Every single time I write, it's that same feeling from when I first started out with music—it's my way of dealing with all this stuff going on in my head."
