Rolf Jacob Sartorius (born October 2, 2002), better known as Jacob Sartorius (/dʒeɪkəb sərtɔɪriːʌs/), is an American singer and internet personality, who rose to fame via social media from posting lip-syncing videos on Musical.ly. In 2016, he released his debut single "Sweatshirt", which reached the Hot 100 charts in the United States and Canada. Later that year, Google announced Jacob Sartorius was the 9th most searched musical artist of 2016.
On December 1, 2016, Sartorius announced his debut extended play The Last Text with 8 songs, and his debut concert tour The Last Text World Tour.
Sartorius was born in Oklahoma on October 2, 2002. Shortly after his birth, he was adopted and moved to Virginia because his birth parents were unable to take care of him. He was raised in Reston, Virginia by his adoptive parents. At age 7, Sartorius began acting in musicals, where he discovered his love for performing but caused people to bully him.
In 2014, Sartorius uploaded his first online video to Vine at 11 years old. The video, which was a message about anti-bullying, went viral and began his fame on social media. After regularly posting videos to Vine, Sartorius became mildly popular on the app. Later that year, Sartorius joined Musical.ly where his online fame took off. His lip-syncing videos on the app became very popular and led him to become one of the app's top stars with over 14 million followers.
