Jacob Khalil Band

From singing with Sam Smith on Saturday Night Live to headlining sold-out shows at Birdland Jazz Club, Jacob Khalil makes music that unites people. The New Yorker called Jacob "affable and sunny," while Fox 5 TV said he had "an iconic voice that soothes the soul." While opening for Jake Scott in 2024, Jacob enthralled an audience of 3000 to sing along to his songs -- which they had never before heard. Some say Jacob is a cross between John Legend and Jason Mraz. And while he has a style of his own, you could easily picture Jacob on tour with the likes of Lawrence, Ben Rector, or Jacob Collier. For years Jacob has made his living performing in New York City piano bars, jazz clubs, and professional choirs — all of which serve as musical influences in his songwriting.
