## Life and career

### Early life

Jaköshrumf was born on 18 July 1993 in Basya, Nortensland. Her father, Jak, was a construction worker, while her mother, Sandra, was a primary school teacher. She had one younger sister, while the family was working class.

Jaköshrumf attended primary school in Basya, where she was a star-student. She graduated as her class's valedictorian in 2008, before attending a performing arts high school, where she was introduced to Western Stars. She graduated from high school in 2011.

### 2011–2015: Early career and hiatus

After graduating from high school in 2011, Jaköshrumf moved from Basya to Ubenmoor to pursue a career in music. She settled in the Tenichi district. After initial attempts to pursue a music career failed, Jaköshrumf began working as a waitress at an open-air café.

After Western Stars were signed to Love In Stereo Records, Jaköshrumf was asked by them to perform vocals on some of their songs, as they had no lead singer. Although the record label was reluctant to allow an unsigned no-name artist perform guest vocals on a debuting act, they eventually agreed after hearing Jaköshrumf's demo. The song, "Needed Me", became a top ten hit in five countries. She went on to perform vocals on their second single, "Love", as well.

Following the single's success, Jaköshrumf was signed by Love In Stereo Records as well, as a solo artist. Jaköshrumf soon began work on her debut studio album, but went into a year-long hiatus following the deaths of her parents and younger sister in 2014. She was offered free time off by her record label.

### 2015–present: Solo breakthrough and debut studio album

In 2015, Jaköshrumf revealed that she had ended her hiatus and was excited to continue working on her solo music. She also revealed that the experience will have a great effect on the music she'd be putting out.

In January 2017, Jaköshrumf released her debut solo single, "Right Now". The song is an electronic-R&B ballad that lyrically speaks about the death of her family. The song became a massive success, reaching the top position in four countries. Her debut studio album will be released in 2017.

## Personal life

Jaköshrumf resides in the Breż district of Ubenmoor, in a shared apartment with Hanna Larsöbögg of Western Stars.

In April 2014, Jaköshrumf's mother, father, and younger sister boarded a plane from Basya to Ubenmoor to visit Jaköshrumf. Shortly after takeoff, the plane experienced engine failure and crash-landed, killing all of its passengers. Jaköshrumf found out about the news shortly before a concert with Western Stars, and was inconsolable. The concert was canceled, and Western Stars went on a two-month hiatus in order to care for her.

Regarding the incident and Western Stars, Jaköshrumf has stated, "It was the absolute worst experience of my entire life. I can't even think about it without crying. [Western Stars] are my absolute best friends and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have them during this. I owe them my life".
