While rooted in the country genre, Jacob Rice blends Pop and R&B sounds with a unique form of lyrical expression.

Taking musical inspiration from the likes of Train, Old Dominion, Bruno Mars, and Brett Eldridge, Jacob uses bouncy melodies and skillfully crafted hooks that will make any music lover bop and sing along.
