With Brooklyn, NY in his veins courtesy of an absent father and a visceral love of soulful music thanks to a reggae/blues/classical-loving Kiwi mum, Jacob Giles has been producing music since the age of 15. It was while rocking the original playstation to its core in the '90s that Jacob realised machines could be used to make songs, and so he could bypass the years required to learn how to play "real instruments".

East meets West in this collaboration between Korean producer Lee Hahn and Australian emcee, Adikkal. Formed in 2008, the Sydney based pair make hip hop music with a soulful twist. Clever, thoughtful lyrics meet slick, expressive production on LHA’s debut EP It’s Time (available now through iTunes and www.lhamusic.com). LHA make music to move you and music to groove to.

LHA's song "That's Just Life" has made them finalists in the International Songwriting Competition as well as the Launch Your Band competition run each year by Perisher Blue. They are fast gaining respect and recognition as they establish a presence in the Sydney music scene.
