With an edgy, broody aesthetic to complement his talent, this emerging artist represents the youthful masculinity of Viktor&Rolf’s soon to be revealed men’s scent, striking a balance between strength and virility, elegance and sensuality, playfulness and self-awareness.
Through heartfelt words and his music, at 21, Jacob Whitesides has made his own success in the industry. With a voice of raw power and a sense of independence instinctive to Generation Z, this young singer songwriter creates fan addiction: giving audiences the chance to get to know him and his art up close and very personal. Both online, with “no filter” daily interaction with his close to 6 million social followers and during the experiences he constantly reinvents for fans during intimate and unforgettable live shows.
A performer whose power lies in creating desire in both a male and female audience. Now, he brings his sculpted masculinity and looks of intensity to embody the seductive power of Viktor&Rolf’s new fragrance for men.
