Jacob Pearson

I am singer and songwriter working in the music industry for the last 15 years. I was previously the lead singer in a band, the PLGRMS from 2017 until 2020, signed to a record label. During this time I had the opportunity to record original songs and tour Australia. Unfortunately, COVID reduced opportunities for live music. Since 2020 I focused on my career as a solo artist, writing and recording my own music, and am looking forward to releasing two singles this year.

In 2023 I started a course in Diploma of Counselling due to my strong desire to help others. In addition, I have worked casual jobs to support myself after COVID.

My passions are music and helping people. Working in band focuses on collaborating with others, creativity, teamwork, compromise and inspiring one another. Being a musician can be challenging, artistic blocks, others telling you it is too hard to make it in the industry, anxiety performing and constant evaluation by others, being taken advantage of by the business side of things and the focus on profit over art, inconsistent income and finding musicians to work with. I have a strong interest in helping others reach their music goals, mentoring, providing technical knowledge of the industry and inspiring them.

I believe that I would be well suited to working with anyone who has an interest in and passion for music.

My strengths are my ability to listen non-judgmentally, show compassion, knowledge of mental health and anxiety through lived experience and post-graduate study,
