Jakey

Jacob Christensen, known online as Jakey (and as NakeyJakey on YouTube), is an American YouTuber, electronic musician, and rapper from Hot Springs, South Dakota. He built his audience through a YouTube channel launched in 2015 that mixed video game commentary with broader comedic and cultural essays, before expanding into an original music career that draws on electronic, rap, and pop influences.

His singles, including «Cafeteria», «South Dakota», «Saintlike», «Medium», «Moby Dick», and «Not Dead Yet», showcase a genre-blending style that fuses melodic electronic production with rap cadences and introspective, often self-deprecating songwriting. This body of work culminated in his debut album ROMCOM, released in November 2022, which brought together his musical evolution across several years of singles into a cohesive full-length project.

Jakey occupies a distinct space at the intersection of internet culture and independent music, where his large YouTube following gives his releases an audience that predates his output as a recording artist. His sound stands out for pairing polished electronic and hip-hop production with candid, personal lyrical content, distinguishing him from more straightforwardly comedic internet-to-music crossovers.
