Jake Miller makes us swoon while making an appearance at Build Series on Tuesday (June 11) in New York City.
During his interview, the 26-year-old musician opened up about why he transitioned from rapping to singing.
“I just felt like it was kind of corny for me,” he said. “I don’t really listen to rap music anymore. My taste for music changes, just like everybody else. It’s not to say I’ll never rap again, but if I do it, I always say it’s for the fans, because I know that they want me to do it.”
“I just feel like I make my best music, and I’m just the best writer when I’m not rapping,” Jake added.

“Still was one of the best nights of my life though,” he added.
“Worst pain ever,” he also wrote in his Stories along with a crying face emoji.

Jake Miller surprised his fans last night with the reveal of his new EP artwork!
The 26-year-old musician not only unleashed the cover art for Based On A True Story, which is out on Friday, March 29th, but the track list as well.
“The EP is definitely my proudest work so far as a writer and producer,” he told Forbes in a new interview. “I did things that I’ve never done before in my music.”
Jake continued, “I’ve incorporated live instruments, a live saxophone and a live choir on the last song of the EP. I think really just making the album and EP better than the last is always my goal and I think I definitely accomplished that. These are six of my favorite songs that I’ve made to date.”
