Caleb Jacobs
History
Caleb Jacobs is a Sydney based award-winning composer and sound designer, music producer, songwriter and musician. Since graduating from AFTRS in 2015, Caleb has steadily built an impressive body of work across an array of mediums. Varied as they are, they all carry a common thread - storytelling.
Whether he’s writing for film, TV, commercials, podcast or installation, storytelling is at the heart of his process.
He has deep roots in the Sydney music scene where he cut his teeth as a guitarist leaning into distorted amps in search of new sounds. He carries that spirit with him in the studio and has since collaborated with and produced countless local artists such as Babitha, Isabella Manfredi, Le Pie, Ona Mota and Richard Cuthbert. He’s currently working with Moody Beach as the Music Director of her live show.
This year Caleb’s been the composer for the Australian feature film ‘The Longest Weekend’. He’s also contributed music to the Channel 9 docuseries ‘For the Love of Pets’. Both productions have 2022 release dates.
Caleb is equally at home in the art, film and commercial space. He’s worked alongside Uncanny Valley, Piers Burbrook de Vere, Mighty Sound, Otis Studios and Melodie. He’s collaborated with agencies such as Paper Moose, Analog Folk, Jack Nimble and Innocean. He’s recorded podcasts with Adam Liaw and had soundscapes showcased at Vivid.
In the film world, Caleb's worked with an exciting and eclectic mix of directors including Natalie Morales, S.K. Dale and Molly Haddon. For Caleb, the fun begins when collaborating with like-minded, driven creatives whose pursuit of true and meaningful work is equally impassioned.
