Young Musicians with Billionaire Parents Shake Up Montauk’s Music Scene

Jake Loeb and Henry Cornell Jr., two young musicians with incredibly successful parents in the hedge fund industry, took the stage at Montauk’s Surf Lodge to showcase their musical talents. Despite their privileged backgrounds, the duo has been making waves in the music industry with their impressive performances and songwriting skills.

Jake and Henry, both 18 years old, met in high school and formed a band together four years ago. Their musical journey began with jam sessions in their parents’ basements, honing their skills and crafting their unique sound. The two musicians have not only played together in a band but have also collaborated on writing songs, showcasing a strong musical chemistry between them.

Both Jake and Henry have recorded solo tracks in addition to their work as a duo. Henry’s songs, such as “Pillow” and “Faded,” can be found on Spotify, where he describes his sound as a blend of “2014 Justin Bieber vibe with a 2024 twist.” On the other hand, Jake has released three singles this year, including “Love Song in My Head,” available on various streaming platforms.

Despite their parents’ immense wealth and success in the financial world, Jake and Henry are carving out their own path in the competitive music industry. They auditioned at the Surf Lodge to secure their performance, demonstrating their dedication to their craft and willingness to earn their success through hard work and talent.

The young musicians have already graced iconic venues such as NYC’s Cutting Room, where they captivated audiences with their dynamic performances. Their ability to connect with listeners through their music has garnered them a loyal fan base and positioned them as rising stars to watch in the music scene.

As Jake and Henry prepare to head off to college at the end of the summer, their musical journey is just beginning. With a promising career ahead of them, fueled by their passion for music and determination to succeed on their own merits, these young artists are poised to make a lasting impact in the music industry. Despite their privileged upbringing, Jake and Henry are focused on proving themselves as talented musicians deserving of recognition and success based on their own merit.
