tackles Jakk’s personal journey grappling with grief
when relationships and friendships fall apart while searching
internally for empowerment and peace. Jakk says of the
EP’s inspiration, “I had concealed my romantic feelings for
a good friend because we were both in relationships. Eventually,
I came clean and was met with rejection. My fear of being alone
was crippling so I committed myself to not pursuing any romantic
relationships for a year so I could learn, grow, and work on
my issues.”
Jakk adds: “Everyone has trauma, but I think it’s
super important, especially for people within the queer community,
to really understand how their past experiences have shaped
their coping mechanisms. Because we already deal with so much,
we really owe it to ourselves and our peers to not exacerbate
and compound our issues.”

includes Jakk’s last single, “Fire,” accompanied by the
video
for which he described as “an artistic statement on how society
imposes gender constructs and sexual identities on its members.”
Jakk, the descendent of Mexican immigrants, is committed
to using pop music’s power to uplift audiences and challenge
toxic social narratives, especially for audiences who don’t
often see themselves fairly and accurately represented in mainstream
culture.
