Mads Jakobsen is a Danish Baritone based in Berlin
Mads's journey with classical music began amidst the vibrant atmosphere of a Copenhagen bar, where he delighted costumers with jazz and showtune performances. It was here that he crossed paths with the singing coach Douglas Yates, whose guidance ignited Mads's passion for classical music. Encouraged by Yates, Mads embarked on a journey to Nürnberg at Douglas Yates VocalArts to hone his vocal skills, before returning to Copenhagen to enroll in the Pre-College 'Musikalsk Grund Kursus' under the tutelage of the renowned opera singer Trine Møller.
His dedication and talent earned him a spot at the Universität der Künste Berlin, where he studied under the guidance of esteemed professors such as Elisabeth Werres and Aris Argiris. Throughout his still young career, Mads has taken part of numerous productions and benefit concerts.
