Jacob Dutton, better known as Jake One, is an American hip-hop record producer from Seattle, Washington. He grew up in Capitol Hill and moved to Seattle when he was 15. Dutton started making music on a keyboard in 1992. He attended the University of Washington where he had his first shot at a career when he gave a mix tape to one of his boys who worked at a local record store. Word started to spread and he got more and more opportunities to prove himself, only reminding those in the hip-hop nation of the quality of his sound. Jake One's early influences include the likes of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, and Marley Marl. He was part of the G-Unit production squad and as of late 2008 is working for Dr. Dre's squad.
