Two young musicians, Jake Loeb and Henry Cornell Jr., recently captured the attention of music fans with an impressive performance at Montauk’s Surf Lodge. Despite their young age of 18, both Jake and Henry have shown exceptional talent and dedication to their craft.
It is worth noting that Jake Loeb is the son of billionaire hedge funder Daniel Loeb, while Henry Cornell Jr. hails from a similar background with his father also being a hedge fund billionaire, Henry Cornell. The presence of such influential parents adds a layer of intrigue to the duo’s budding music careers.
According to insiders, Jake and Henry had to audition at the popular hotspot before securing their gig at the Surf Lodge. The two musicians first met in high school and have been playing together in a band for the past four years. Their collaboration extends beyond performances, as they have also worked together on songwriting.
In addition to their joint projects, both teenagers have released solo music. Henry Jr. has several songs on Spotify, including tracks like “Pillow” and “Faded.” He describes his sound as a mix of “a 2014 Justin Bieber vibe with a 2024 twist.” On the other hand, Jake Loeb has released three singles this year, with his latest track, “Love Song in My Head,” available on Spotify.
Away from their music careers, the background of their families adds another dimension to their story. Daniel Loeb, apart from being a billionaire, is known for his philanthropic work and as the founder of Third Point. He owns properties in the Hamptons, including a mobile home in Montauk’s Ditch Plains area. Similarly, Henry Cornell Sr., the father of Henry Jr., founded Cornell Capital and has a background in finance, previously working at Goldman Sachs.
As both Jake Loeb and Henry Cornell Jr. prepare to head off to college at the end of the summer, their musical journey is just beginning. With a combination of talent, dedication, and influential connections, the duo is poised for a bright future in the music industry. Keep an eye on these rising stars as they continue to make waves in the world of music.
