ABOUT JACOB
ABOUT ME
Hey!
My name is Jacob Browne. I am an emerging artist from the Southend-on-Sea area.
I have always had a great love for music. From a young age I would spend my time banging away on the drums, learning the guitar or just singing. Singing is what truly inspires me and always fills me with joy.
Growing up, and still now, I look up to my favourite artists so, for me, it is truly important to show your authentic self, especially due to being a proud, openly gay artist. I want people to feel safe, happy and energised when they listen to my music, and feel a part of a welcoming, warm community.
I hope young audiences will really find a friend in me and my music as I spread my message of celebration and pride.
I am so grateful for all my supporters and fans to be here today on the first steps of my journey.
I hope you feel inspired by my work and find joy in it.
Be kind always

MORE ABOUT
I believe it is important to use my new found platform to raise awareness for a charity that means so much to me and many others. Mind pioneers in mental heath. They want to eradicate the stigmas surrounding mental health and make people feel safe, secure and heard. They believe in partnership, friendship and being part of a community, ideals I firmly agree with.

It is important for young people to take a break from daily stress and focus on other things. That is why I have collaborated with Mind to create a mood boosting playlist.

THE WALKING ON SUNSHINE MESSAGE
Creating my own music video has been something I have dreamed of for a long time and I’m so pleased I was able to create one for Walking On Sunshine.
​
The song explores the feeling of joy and universal love and a music video was the perfect way to express this.
The video follows me, taking flowers to a friend intertwined with images of everyday love and beauty.
​
Fitting my aim for the video, to create a feeling of joy, a feeling of sunshine, I wanted to keep the relationship between me and Charlie up to interpretation. I believe there is an importance in the universality of relationships and contentment, whether it’s family, friends or partners, it’s all about sharing love.
​
From the idyllic shots of beaches, to intimate close ups, to the golden sunflowers throughout the video, I hope you all enjoy the video and feel the sunshine too!
THE CAST
The second lead actor on Walking On Sunshine was the dancer, singer and actress Charlie Dench.
