Jacob Hackworth is an American country singer-songwriter from West Plains, Missouri, known for pairing modern country production with R&B and pop influences, powerhouse vocals, and emotionally direct storytelling. Before launching his own recording career, Hackworth became one of Nashville’s in-demand songwriters, co-writing major songs including Bailey Zimmerman’s “Rock and A Hard Place,” Corey Kent’s “This Heart,” Tucker Wetmore’s “Wine Into Whiskey,” Morgan Wallen’s “Jack and Jill,” Kane Brown’s “2 Pair,” and material recorded by Jelly Roll, Josh Ross, Vincent Mason, and others. He stepped forward as a solo artist with songs including “When I Don’t,” “You Ain’t,” “Bad as I Do,” “What Took You So Long,” “Help Yourself,” “Mess That Marlboro Made,” and “I Wanna Quit,” bringing the same character-driven writing that established his reputation behind the scenes.
