It is a privilege to welcome SHOOP as a guest on the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
The PA-born and L.A.-based artist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist stretches the boundaries of pop with his bare hands, leaning on an uncompromising no-fucks-given approach powered by live instrumentation, airtight songcraft, and a whole lot of attitude.
After graduating college, the Harrisburg, PA, native bounced between jobs, saved enough to move to New York City, and pursued music full-time by 2020. Locking in with intense focus, he grinded through countless studio sessions, landing his first major placement when he co-produced “Cowboy” for Allison Ponthier in 2021. Establishing himself as a sought-after collaborator behind the scenes, his catalog expanded with the likes of “Writing’s On The Wall” for ROLE MODEL, “CYBAH” by Syd and Lucky Daye, “Heaven” for Maude Latour, and many more. Along the way, he hit the road with Biig Piig as her drummer. He joined Junior Varsity, performing and collaborating on projects such as Junior Varsity EP, Side B, and My Star EP.
After years as a sought-after collaborator, he steps into the spotlight with his debut EP, Never Better, his first for Epic Records, with much more to come. Ultimately, SHOOP cooks up music that could make you nod your head, shake your hips, and feel a little harder all at once.
On this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, SHOOP talked about his collaborations with Junior Varsity, Role Model, and Syd, and shared the stories behind his most-streamed Spotify songs.
