Jacob Meehan

Jacob Meehan, a native of Roodhouse, Illinois (population 1,700) cut his chops over the course of 15 years while residing in the house of House, Chicago, where priceless opportunities informed his taste as both a musical purveyor & vibe creator. His tenure behind the counter at the legendary Gramaphone Records, behind the decks as a resident of Smart Bar, behind the mixing console at WLUW 88.7FM, and behind the scenes as an event organizer & restaurateur, where he and his friends breathed new life into the city's dusty pre-AIDS gay venues, like the Bijou Theater, have rendered him a pivotal player in helping booster America's queer scene. Since relocating to Berlin in 2016, he has gone on to leave his mark with two very important projects - Buttons and WHOLE Festival.  As an organizer of WHOLE, he oversees social media, decoration and programming of the workshops & ambient stage. During the pandemic, Meehan furthered his study into music production, resulting in new releases. His first single "Hier" came out earlier this year on NYC's Major Records.
