Jake is the drummer of Manic Satin, born and raised in Malta. His earliest memories of music involve his father strumming the guitar around the house and sneaking listens to his father's record collection, which included bands like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, and Dire Straits. That noise got into his blood early and never really left.

When Sarah approached him about a year and a half ago to ask if he would start a band, Jake wasn’t exactly jumping out of his seat. He had been involved in a few projects that never really went anywhere, so he figured this would be more of the same. Nevertheless, he agreed to join. He is glad he did, as Manic Satin turned out to be anything but another quick project.

For Jake, music has never just been about playing; it is how he connects with people. Communicating through words is not exactly his strong suit, but behind the kit, he doesn’t need them. It’s weird, it’s loud, and it makes complete sense to him.
