Musical career edit
Jakobsson started making music in Edinburgh at the suggestion of a friend. He began experimenting with exploring the possibilities of music on his laptop. When he returned to Malmö after his studies, his interest in making music would intensify thanks to the encouragement of his old schoolmates. A move to Barcelona and the end of a relationship, resulted in extended sessions and lots of watching of the classic American sitcom Seinfeld. Jakobsson took his stage name from that TV show, which had been as a temporary side project of the same name, but fully adopted 2016 when he released his first recording.[1]
Musical style edit
In his music, DJ Seinfeld uses sounds from films or series, borrowings from acid house and deep house, as well as distortion effects.[2] He has also used the stage names Birds of Sweden and Rimbaudian.[3][4]
