An Expanding Musical Identity

Jacob Cade has shared tracks like “BROKE BXTCH,” “Ruin My Life,” “Numbing Myself,” “Discipline,” “Off My Mind,” and “Bad For Myself.” Together, these songs highlight his versatility across alternative rock, indie pop, punk, and modern pop.
Beyond streaming platforms, “Bad For Myself” also appears in Dead as Disco, an indie action rhythm game developed by Brain Jar Games. This crossover further highlights the cinematic appeal and versatility of Jacob Cade’s music.
