Interview with Jake Scott
We had the pleasure of interviewing Jake Scott over Zoom video!\xa0
Jake Scott\xa0releases his eight-track project titled\xa0Goldenboy, a record that taps a top-shelf collection of pop\u2019s hottest collaborators, including Noah Conrad (Ashe, Niall Horan, LANY), Rob Moose (Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers), Josh Kerr (Kelsea Ballerini, Camilo Cabello, Little Big Town), Martin Johnson (Boys Like Girls, Jason Derulo), Brandon Paddock (Avril Lavigne, Christina Perri), John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Finneas, Cautious Clay) and Chad Copelin (Train, Third Eye Blind).\xa0
Raised in a rural Southern household, Scott breaks the stereotypical mold by vulnerably shedding the traditional tropes of masculinity. While Scott recorded most of the project from a family barn in Arkansas, the sonics are anything but homegrown. He has a smooth sound similar to JP Saxe's catchy, relatable intimacy, and he flawlessly blends it with soulful pop melodies reminiscent of Ed Sheeran.\xa0
Accompanying the EP is a colorful visualization of Scott grappling with breaking out of society\u2019s mold. Watch the \u201cGoldenboy\u201d video above and\xa0here.\xa0\xa0
To celebrate\xa0Goldenboy,\xa0Scott recently launched his own virtual donut shop,\xa0Goldenboy Donuts. Available exclusively through\xa0Grubhub,\xa0Goldenboy Donuts\xa0is partnering with local brick-and-mortar donut shops in 11 cities for a six-month partnership. Each donut is handpicked by Scott and named after songs off the EP. Flavors include \u201cOff\u201d The Beaten Path (Apple Fritter), The Shadow (Chocolate Long John), and The Goldenboy (Regular Glazed), and more.

The LA-based passionate-pop-heartthrob has made waves as an independent artist with\xa0more than 280 million cumulative streams. Scott\u2019s first three songs off\xa0Goldenboy --\u201cOff,\u201d \u201cMeet My Shadow,\u201d and \u201cAnymore\u201d -- have already amassed more than\xa04 million streams\xa0and landed on Spotify\u2019s New Music Friday, Chill Pop, Fresh & Chill, and Pop Right Now, plus Apple Music\u2019s New In Pop and Relationship Goals, just to name a few.\xa0
Scott has risen to become one of streaming\u2019s breakout stars with his unconventional release strategy of writing, producing, and releasing one new song a month, which he did from 2018-2020, earning him 150M+ Spotify streams in 2020 alone. Known for writing "the lyrical language of love and life" (Music Connection), Scott not only pens all his own music -- like hits "Like No One Does\u201d (34M + Spotify streams), \u201cTuesdays\u201d (28M+ Spotify streams), and \u201cFavorite T-Shirt\u201d (28M+ Spotify streams) -- additionally, he's been a collaborator for some of today's biggest names, including\xa0Aloe Blacc,\xa0Carrie Underwood,\xa0Jason Mraz\xa0and\xa0Christina Perri.\xa0
