Michael "MJ" Jacob
CEO/Co-Founder, Lemonaide Music
MJ grew up making Hip-Hop music in the basement of a Section 8 home which is where his passion for music began. He continued his journey as a rapper, racking millions of streams on Spotify, while balancing a career in technology, spending several years at Google as an AI Cloud Engineer.
Eventually, the two worlds collided, and MJ created Lemonaide, a company focused on providing ethical AI tools to help musicians push creative boundaries.
