Born and raised in Connecticut, Jake Minch burst onto the scene in 2023 with his hit single “handgun,” racking up 1.3 million views on the song’s initial teaser and earning support from the likes of Noah Kahan, Lizzy McAlpine, Zach Bryan, Gracie Abrams and FLETCHER. Over the last few years, the 2for2 projects/Mercury Records artist has garnered a dedicated fanbase through his deeply personal lyrics on love, growing up, and grief. This past July, Minch released his highly anticipated debut album George, produced alongside acclaimed producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift). Written between Los Angeles and Connecticut, the 12-track project explores grief, guilt, and identity through the lens of Minch’s early twenties, capturing the angst and disorientation of leaving home with striking vulnerability. The album has received widespread acclaim from outlets including NPR Music, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit and Ones to Watch, with TMRW Magazine declaring, “Jake Minch is Your Favorite Songwriter’s Songwriter,” while Holler calls the record a “Great American Novel” cut into pop songs. Minch has toured the world over, sharing stages with the likes of The Head and the Heart, Jeremy Zucker, Ben Abraham, Holly Humberstone, Grace Enger and Sadie Jean, and recently wrapped a successful two-part North American headline tour in support of George.
