Jake Simpson

JAKE SIMPSON can currently be seen worldwide on the OWN Network special "Oprah's Where Are They Now? Season 2" which featured Simpson in his new home, Los Angeles, CA. Simpson twice (2003 and 2004) won the top honors in the Adult Singer category on CBS's Star Search with his powerful high tenor voice and three-octave range. Growing up in Crocker, Missouri, making music has been one of the most important driving forces in Jake's life. His sound has been influenced by Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Donny Hathaway and the classic style of Sam Cooke. Jake has recorded, written and performed with a multitude of artists including Grammy Award-winning songwriter Desmond Child, American Idol finalists David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado and Grammy Award-nominee Adam Lambert, NBC's The Voice finalist Frenchie Davis, Vintage Trouble's Ty Taylor, pianist Jim Brickman (national tour), Shoshana Bean, Matt Cusson, Grammy Award-nominee Taylor Dayne, Grammy Award-winner Paula Cole and most famously on The Oprah Winfrey Show with the legendary Stevie Wonder. Simpson has produced and recorded two albums including the holiday themed Star of Wonder and the prophetically entitled My Song which garnered positive reviews and radio airplay throughout the U.S. and Europe. Critics raved about his "blue-eyed soul" and his "Amen-inducing" rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful. This past summer, Jake starred in the Roll & Roll revue entitled Arena: Born To Rock performing weekly at Rolling Stone LA in Hollywood. Currently, Mr. Simpson's new show entitled "Jake Simpson Live!" performs every Sunday - in residence - at The Grove in Los Angeles. His albums are available on iTunes and CD Baby.
