From a Soldier in the Service to an Independant Music Artist

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Nov. 11, 2022 - PRLog -- Jacob Ploch, born in Newark, NJ and raised in Caldwell, NJ, served in the Army for 5 years before an injury forced him to take a different path which led him to consider taking his music career a lot more seriously.

Jacob known as the Artist 'JayP', started playing Stand-up Bass at the age of 8. Music had always been a part of his life and he wanted to help people not feel as alone as he did growing up.

From that point he knew that this instrument would be his soulmate. As years went on, he added the piano and the drums to his skillset. He soon realized music was his real passion. While loving music but never expecting this industry to serve as his actual job, he joined the Army at the age of 20 as a Combat Medic.

JayP was deployed in 2018 to Afghanistan serving as a 10th Mountain Soldier. Upon release from that mission, he quickly returned to his first love and booked live shows. No sooner did the pandemic hit, it put a halt to his dream of playing in front of live audiences and his Country needed him for yet another important mission.

In May 2022, JayP medically retired due to a lower back injury.  When he realized that a chapter in his life came to a close, he decided it was time to live his authentic self and use this opportunity to pursue his dream of changing people's lives through his music. "I went all in. Since then, I've been able to make enough to pay the bills... but the best part has been the people..., the kids that have big smiles on their faces when I play their favorite song, and seeing the people dance and forgetting about their troubles during my sets".

JayP is also a member of motorcycle club where their focus is to be in service to others. At the end of the day musicians are in charge of prescribing audible medicine for the mind that will make people feel happiness, sadness, anger, tranquility, bravery, fear, or motivation. It's up to us to put the people first because we have the opportunity to create the catalyst for beautiful moments and memories.

JayP signed with BIG Records out of Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada in August (2022). He is managed by Brian Fagan at Grace Musicians Group.
