We are delighted to have Jacob back where he belongs in the music industry! His infectious single UKOK is still high on rotation here at Novastream and we are looking forward to more singles and an album
“I am delighted to be working with The David Gresham Company, they are a fantastic label and a perfect fit for my music” Jacob said. “I’d love to play some shows in South Africa, and maybe have a remix done by Die Antwoord and DJ HI-TEK, he makes next level beats on his PC computer!”

Jacob has also received major label interest in Germany and will release Come My Way to German radio this week with the help of renowned Munich based radio promoter, Robert Larasser (Snow Patrol, Faithless, Bryan Adams, John Butler Trio). Come My Way has gained serious attention on Youtube with over 125,000 hits in 8 weeks


Jacob was recently announced as a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition - the world’s biggest and most prestigious annual songwriting awards, for his track Mind Waltz. It looks like 2012 is set to be a great year for Jacob Butler.
