Ever wondered what it's like to walk in the shadow of a legend? Jakob Dylan, the frontman of The Wallflowers and son of Bob Dylan, has carved his own path in the music world, navigating the complexities of legacy and forging a distinct identity.
Born Jakob Luke Dylan on December 9, 1969, in New York City, he is the youngest of Bob Dylan and Sara Lowndes' five children. While his father's monumental influence loomed large, Jakob's upbringing was largely shaped by his mother. The family relocated to Los Angeles when he was around three years old, and it was there that Jakob spent much of his formative years. Even with a father who redefined songwriting, Jakob found his own voice, eventually leading The Wallflowers to international acclaim.
