Biography
Born and raised in Cheshire. Jake Barnabas is the Drummer and Backing Vocalist of English Rock and Roll Band The Luka State. Beside Music, he had some high standard football experiences and nearly turned professional in that venture. Coming through Macclesfield Town’s academy to play for Altrincham’s first team, it took Jake till his mid-twenties to play to a bigger crowd in Music than football. After a severe knee injury prematurely ended his football career, he jumped all in on honing his drumming craft and managed to land himself the role as The Luka State Drummer. Since being in The Luka State, Jake has gone on to play such UK festivals as Reading and Isle of Wight. As well as supporting Feeder. Jake has recorded in some historic English Studios, two of which being The Pool, Miloco studios London, and The Motor Museum in Liverpool. Beside playing, Jake has taught many classes around Cheshire within High Schools and held a full time Music Teaching role around touring duties.
