With an irresistible voice, magnetic charisma, and that instantly recognizable coif, Jacob Sartorius built an undeniable and unique connection with millions of fans worldwide in 2016—which only grows stronger by the day.

The 14-year-old all-around entertainer, musician, actor, and social media force seamlessly evolved from online stardom to mainstream ubiquity by following a path of his own. In under the span of a year, his debut single “Sweatshirt” independently achieved RIAA gold status, amassed over 15.1 million Spotify streams, and 70 million-plus YouTube views as he sold out his very first headline tour, the All My Friends Tour. He graced the cover of Billboard Magazine, guested on HBO’s Vice News Now, and attracted praise from Perez Hilton, Just Jared Jr., and many others, in addition to receiving nominations at the People’s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and Streamy Awards. However, everything set the stage for the 2017 release of his debut EP, The Last Text, and worldwide tour.
