Jacob Fogel is an American composer and music instructor based in Orlando, FL. Having graduated with his B.A. in Music at the University of Central Florida with a focus in composition and ethnomusicology, he has studied piano intensively under renowned pianists Hannah Sun Ripert and Sun-A Park. Accepted into NYU Steinhardt's Music Technology M.M. program, his education also extends to applied music technology, A/V technology, audio in technical theater, and audio engineering. Compositionally, Jacob frequently exercises the sensibilities of media composition with a welcome touch of elements from world music. Global animation and video game music studies have informed both his compositions and understanding of the interplay between media, audio, and consumer. Whether it be intricate 19th-century inspired chamber music, crisp ambiance with an intelligent jazz touch, or upbeat electronic scores with pop-rock undertones, Jacob’s scores have proven to supply a number of projects with invaluable depth. Jacob has also performed live as an open-format DJ in downtown Orlando’s Celine and historical Beacham to crowd acclaim. More recently, his performative involvements lie with the rhythm section of the Video Game Music Ensemble at UCF and the UCF New Music Ensemble. Jacob has also been responsible for organizing successful events and artist showcases in Orlando. In 2025, he graduated from UCF with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music, a minor in Asian studies, and a certificate in the Business of Hip Hop Innovation and Creative Industries. When not occupied with arranging, composing, studying, teaching music lessons, or conducting concert/event photography, Jacob prefers to spend his time practicing walking meditation in Florida’s nature trails, perfecting his fried rice recipe, or teaching English to Japanese natives in virtual reality.
