history
of five star
The man is a musical genious. Five Star has had nine lives in his minute on earth. His musical development spans from Rock to Classical, to when he found his soul's awakening in Reggae. Before performing as Five Star, Jacob Harrison sang with too many artist to mention as DJ Jake. An accomplished, guitarist, pianist, bassist, and drummer, Harrison started mixing beats to influence other musical projects he worked on in the 1990's. During the late 90's his Hardcore band, Murder One, toured through Maryland and Pennsylvania and taught Harrison how to work a crowd into a frenetic ecstasy. From these experiences on tour, Five Star honed his live performance skills to become one of the biggest drawing artists in the North Florida--his former home and forever heart. Harrison wants to let everyone know that his fans in Florida have been a huge part of his spiritual and artistic development. Between Florida and the D.C. Metro Area, Five Star has worked with Soultonic Productions (MD), Kulcha Shok Musik, Roaring Sound Productions, and Monsoon and Madmax to name only a few of the production companies that have been more profitable from his talent. Five Star and all the fans of his work look forward to the coming year as negotiates his first studio record on his own while hammering out details to work with some major artists on established labels. |

strategy for the future The Five Star Army wants to blow up bigger. Five Star and his current management team have begun to welcome negotiations with several midsize organizations on the East Coast to open up opportunities for Five Star to play with a few key artists. In the next few months, Five Star and his team will entertain invitations to perform with established musicians up and down the East Coast. Five Star's one of those performers who has scrapped and fought for the opportunity to make himself heard. His ability and his heart keep guiding him to more mainstream projects where his work will become recognized. The Five Star Army invites A&R Executives, and Management Organization with proven track records to contact our offices to chat about music and making everybody with a radio bop their head. |
