Ananda Jacobs Interview Comments

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

Post your comments about our Ananda Jacobs Interview and let us know what you thought of her.

“You could say it came down to a question of, ‘what would you miss more if you didn’t have it?’ and for me the answer was music.” – Ananda Jacobs

What do you want to be when you grow up? For a young girl named Ananda Jacobs the answer seemed to be something like “everything and more”. But one thing she certainly didn’t expect with her background in music and science was that she would end up spending the last six years in Japan working as a model and actress.

In Japan they are called “tarento”, the talents who populate the vibrant media culture of the country. Now a veteran of hundreds of ads and publications, Ananda is currently working on her debut album with her new musical unit, JACOBS.

So come learn the story of the woman who says “Music is personal, but also universal. I hope you will find your own meaning and significance in these songs I’ve written.”

On July 19, 2012 Ananda Jacobs was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Ananda Jacobs Interview.
