Jacob Foan's Profile

Background:

I am an award-winning singer, songwriter, pianist, and producer originally from Devon, UK. I had the honor of winning the US TV show ISINA, emerging victorious among 30,000 applicants as a singer/songwriter. I offer online teaching sessions focused on vocals, songwriting, and production. During our initial meeting, I'll identify your goals, and together we'll devise a plan to ensure not only significant progress but also an enjoyable learning journey. I earned my Master's degree from Goldsmith’s University in London. My musical journey has taken me on tours across the UK and Europe, and I've had the privilege of performing live on BBC multiple times. Additionally, I wrote, produced, and starred in my musical film titled ‘Don’t Let Go’, featuring my signature song “I Hate That I Love You”. As a dedicated professional singer, I have studied under the guidance of Gillyanne Kayes, a world-renowned instructor known for her work on The Voice and X Factor. My teaching philosophy is rooted in scientific research and the Jo Estill method, emphasizing the unique qualities of each voice to convey an emotional narrative. I have facilitated songwriting workshops in Vancouver and hold a Professional Diploma in Songwriting from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London. With experience spanning genres like Pop, Music Theatre, Soul, and Folk, my approach to songwriting instruction prioritizes structural clarity while aligning with the specific artistic goals of each individual. Tom Robinson from BBC Introducing recently praised, “If music serves as a means to encapsulate experiences for sharing, then Jacob Foan undeniably stands as an exceptional artist.”
