LIFE: JKub (Legal name Jacob Tarver) was born November 24th, 1987 to Michael and Karyn Tarver in Titusville, FL. He was raised alongside two brothers, the older, William Tarver, and the younger, Ryan Tarver. JKub was raised in a military family and as a result, moved around alot. His family lived in FL, MS, Germany, UT, Colorado, and more. After graduating from High School in 2006 from Layton Christian Academy in Layton, UT, JKub attended college in CO. He attended Mesa State College (Now, Colorado Mesa University), for a year and dropped out because he did not do well in his studies. In 2008, JKub joined the U.S. Air Force as a Security Forces member. He served 3 years and 5 months before being force-shaped (force reduction) out of the military with an Honorable Discharge. He spent many years floating from job to job before he began working for the military again as a civilian in 2016. MUSIC: JKub's family was a musical family. His father and older brother were singers and guitar players, his mother was a singer, and his younger brother was talented at any instrument he desired to learn. JKub, however, had a different musical talent. He loved to rap. Being a Caucasian male, he didn't not get much attention for his talent but often times, the opposite. Spending most of his life being made fun of, JKub decided to hide his gifts. He would spend hours alone in privacy using DAW's (Digital Audio Workstations) to make music for him to rap to. From 2002 to 2016, not much was heard from him. One day, in 2017, JKub, producing under the name, AntiVillain, released a couple songs to SoundCloud to which he gained some response but not much. Later, in 2019, he released a full Album called "AntiHate." This Album was different from any other music he had created before because was not using his Hip-Hop origins in their normal fashion but he used them to create EDM (Electronic Dance Music). This talent gained him substantial traction on a new music platform called "LUM.fm." After talking to his younger brother about his path in music, Jacob decided to change his stage name from AntiVillain to JKub. Now JKub is a moderately known EDM/Hybrid Trap and Future Bass artist on all streaming platforms. FAITH: JKub is an open Christian. He currently resides in Milledgeville, GA, where he is a music minister and preacher for his church. He accepted Christ as his savior in 2001 and is an educated Biblical Studies major. FAMILY: JKub is currently married to his wife (Jennifer Tarver). They were married on August 8th, 2015 in Milledgeville, GA. He also has a son and a daughter. JKub is very family and faith oriented and it shows in his song released: Just Because (Rowdy) in 2020. MENTAL HEALTH: Because JKub is a veteran, he suffers from a severe health anxiety, panic disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress. He was diagnosed in 2015 after going to the emergency room for what he believed was a heart attack. He suffers from these symptoms to this day and is a Disabled Veteran. SOCIAL MEDIA: JKub is not a big fan of social media but does his best to keep in touch with fans. Because of his distaste for social media, he has very few followers. He believes "My music speaks for itself." "I love my fans but I have a hard time finding the time to do all the things social media requires."
