Summary
R&B sensation Gabriel Jacoby is rewriting the rules with his debut EP ‘Gutta Child,’ fusing R&B, funk, soul, and Tampa krank into a sound that’s already earned him a spot on NME’s 100 list. His exclusive ‘Funky Buddha’ playlist nods to legends like Nina Simone and D’Angelo — the latter he’s been compared to by Michelle Obama — but Jacoby’s mission is clear: no imitation, only innovation. Raised in Florida, his music pulses with hometown energy and global soul influences, making him a standout in today’s scene. Up next? Major festival stages at Austin City Limits and Camp Flog Gnaw, plus new tracks poised to be even more raw and immersive. NME’s Cover series continues its mission to spotlight rising stars — and Jacoby is right at the forefront. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
