Meet Jake Novak, the artist you never knew you needed. A fearless singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Jake (sometimes known as Habughabi) has been perfecting his craft in the shadows for over two decades. But now, he’s ready to step into the light and share his unique blend of rock, funk, and soul with the world. And trust me—this isn’t just music you listen to; it’s music you feel.
From Chaos to Creation
Jake’s journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s what makes his music so real. Diagnosed with Autism, Manic Depression, MPD, Paranoid Schizophrenia, and ADHD, Jake spent years battling his inner demons, self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. But instead of being defeated by his challenges, he turned them into art.
His songs—what he calls “sonic spells”—are not just tracks but lifelines. Every lyric, every chord is a testament to surviving and thriving against the odds. “Music is the medicine,” Jake says. “It’s been my therapy, my release, and my way of saying to everyone: If I can push through, so can you.”
The Soundtrack to Your Inner Journey: Form Is Dead
Jake’s music isn’t just about overcoming; it’s about exploring the mysteries of life itself. If you’re curious about unlocking the secrets of consciousness, start with his debut album, “Form Is Dead.” It’s an album that’s meant to be experienced from start to finish, designed to take you on a deep, introspective journey. Think of it as a cosmic roadmap for your mind—are you ready to be Shpongled?
But Jake isn’t stopping there. He’s been dusting off some of his oldest creations, releasing them alongside raw original recordings for a glimpse into his creative soul. At the same time, he’s dropping new singles that show off his range, like the mesmerizing track “Float.” With its soulful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, it’s a taste of what’s to come.
Unfiltered, Uncompromised: The Art of Staying True
In a world where art is often sacrificed for commerce, Jake Novak stands his ground. “Art is identifying as commerce, and commerce is stealing from art,” he declares. For Jake, it’s not about chasing trends or chasing charts—it’s about making music that means something.
As someone who has literally built studios, repaired instruments, and worked behind the scenes in every corner of the production world, Jake knows this industry inside out. He’s here to remind us that creation is born from passion, not profit.
Live and Unleashed: Jake Novak & The Loose Marbles
Jake isn’t just a studio wizard—he’s a force on stage too. Teaming up with his band, Jake Novak & The Loose Marbles, he’s opened for acts like Sublime with Rome, turning two quick rehearsals into an unforgettable live show. His performances are raw, powerful, and filled with the kind of energy that only comes from pouring your heart into your art.
Taking It Global
So, where does Jake see himself next? Everywhere. He’s ready to take his music global, sharing his story with audiences far and wide. “Music is my mission, but wisdom is the goal,” he reflects. With every new release, he’s reaching for that next level, always pushing himself to grow, learn, and connect.
But Jake’s not about rigid plans or industry blueprints. “Plans fail, leading to growth and opportunity,” he says. For him, the journey is about embracing the unknown and letting the music guide the way. And he’s inviting you along for the ride.
