Jacob Elias grew up in Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße, where he discovered his passion for music early on. As a child, he played drums and later taught himself piano through YouTube. His first stage experiences came with his siblings’ band. A songwriting camp led him to meet producer Konstantin Drewes, who then connected him with David Bronner – marking the start of his music career.

Since its release in November 2023, “Situationship” has achieved remarkable success: over 3.5 million streams, more than 1 million YouTube views, #3 on the Ö3 listener charts, #1 on Shazam in Austria, and Top 25 in the national airplay charts. The track was also nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the category “Ö3 Song of the Year.”

On August 22, he followed up with his new solo single “Mitternacht” – his first release since the EP “Wachstumsschmerz” in late February. Jacob has a clear vision: to become a staple of the German-speaking pop scene and reach listeners across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. With “Situationship” and “Mitternacht”, Jacob Elias is laying the foundation for exactly that – making it clear that this is a name you’ll be hearing a lot more from.
