Biography

Jake La Botz's gritty upbringing led him from juvenile delinquency and punk rock to learning blues from the last of Chicago's pre-war blues legends. With his guitar, he traveled across the U.S. until reaching Hollywood, where an unexpected acting career began.

At thirty, after overcoming heroin addiction, La Botz embraced Buddhist meditation, becoming both practitioner and teacher. He also immersed himself in gospel music at Greater Mt. Zion Church in South Central L.A., blending his blues guitar skills with spiritual sounds. Since then, he has crafted his unique Gospel-noir Americana style. His latest album, Hair on Fire, showcases the vivid stories, characters, and spiritual themes that define his work.

With over twenty film and TV credits, La Botz has appeared in True Detective, Rambo, and On the Road. His latest film, D.O.A., features musician John Doe from the punk band X.

In addition to music and acting, La Botz is a writer. His short fiction appears in literary magazines such as The Inquisitive Eater, The Berlin Review, and Third Wednesday. He is currently working on a short story collection, a novella, and a novel.

"From the first time I heard him playing guitar and singing his songs in a smoky bar on La Brea and Sunset, I became a devoted fan of Jake La Botz." – Steve Buscemi.
