JACOB NEWTON

DRUMS

In 2021, Jacob relocated from the Midlands to London to pursue a BA in Music Performance at ACM London, having already spent a decade honing his skills as a drummer. During his studies, he formed the grunge-gaze band Kinoko Curse with fellow ACM students, and continues to perform with the band across the city. Alongside this, Jacob began working as a session drummer, recording and performing for a range of artists within the pop and rock scene. He graduated from ACM with first-class honours in 2024 and has continued to expand his experience as both a performer and collaborator.

Jacob has been teaching drums since 2022 and enjoys supporting students as they develop their confidence and musicianship. He teaches across multiple genres and takes pride in seeing students grow their own style and creative expression.
