Earl Jacob has been a part of Warsaw’s Tisztelet Sound from 2005. From 2009 you can see him on stage with Vavamuffin’s singer Pablopavo very own project Ludziki. Between 2010 and 2013 he also sang for the ska outfit The Bartenders. All this together makes Earl Jacob an experienced singer in the Polish scene. Finally he decided to make his solo album. "Warto rozrabiać" („It’s Worth to Brawl”)  released in 2013 is the result of his 2 years work with respected Polish producer Mothashipp. When they met, they realized they speak a common language – Polish. The album can be described as „reggae on steroids”. Using fantastic session musicians (including horns and strings), they made a combination of classic rocksteady, ska & roots sounds with modern studio techniques.  The songs are about „girls and other issues, their connections, about Warsaw, dancing, slipping and lack of responsibility, as well as how nice is to be who you are and that life is not easy.”

The top hit is a reality story „Your mum likes me more than you”. Among the guests on the album you can hear Ania Iwanek, Skorup, Trzy-Sześć and respected Jamaican production crew Equiknoxx, who comitted one of the remixes. 

Earl Jacob performs with his band Zbóje („Ruffians”).
