He's a talented young man. His style is classic yet he has a sound of his own. I first started watching him on the voice because he has a striking resemblance to my son who is also named Jacob but his talent, down-home kindess and ability to entertain has kept me interested and in some ways invested in his success. I hope he achieves all he sets out to.
