New York City, singer, songwriter, Jake Lancer encapsulates the art of storytelling, the nostalgia of pop music, and the vitality of the New York City club kid scene in his debut EP as a solo artist. His forthcoming project Take Off!, explores the defiance of his own fears, love, trauma, and joy, using his life\u2019s stories as a canvas to create a compilation of tracks that serve as one singular function. \nJake Lancer's influences range from artists like Lady Gaga, ABBA, David Bowie, to Troye Sivan. Growing up closeted yet a part of the LGBTQIA community, Jake dreamed of creating pop music that not only inspired but could give a voice to anyone on their own healing journey. Now a proud out gay man, Jake Lancer is also a mental health professional as a working therapist in New York City. Having studied mental health, musical theater at various esteemed institutions, and worked as a part of the music industry at Universal Music Group, the multi-talented artist has translated his training and life experience into his music. \nJake Lancer\u2019s music is more than an expression of pop and dance, but a mechanism for healing, a love story, and a voice for those feeling both heartbreak and life\u2019s greatest euphoria.\nIG jakemlancer
