Jake Loeb and Henry Cornell Jr., both 18 years old, captivated the audience at Montauk’s popular Surf Lodge with their musical talents. Despite coming from affluent backgrounds as the sons of billionaire hedge funders Daniel Loeb and Henry Cornell, the young performers proved that they have the skills and passion for music on their own merit.
According to insiders at the show, Jake and Henry had to audition at the hotspot before landing the gig, showcasing their dedication and determination to pursue their musical aspirations. The duo first met in high school and have been playing together in a band for four years. Not only have they honed their musical chemistry through playing together, but they have also collaborated on songwriting, demonstrating a strong creative partnership.
Both teens, who are set to begin college at the end of the summer, have also ventured into solo music projects. Henry Jr. has several songs on Spotify, including tracks like “Pillow” and “Faded.” Describing his sound as a mix of “a 2014 Justin Bieber vibe with a 2024 twist,” Henry’s music showcases his unique style and artistic vision. On the other hand, Jake Loeb has released three singles this year, with his latest track, “Love Song in My Head,” now available on Spotify.
Daniel Loeb, a renowned philanthropist and founder of Third Point, and Henry Cornell, the founder of Cornell Capital and former Goldman Sachs executive, have undoubtedly influenced their sons’ musical journeys. Despite their privileged backgrounds, Jake and Henry have shown that they are passionate about music and are dedicated to honing their craft.
Both families have ties to the Hamptons, with Daniel Loeb owning a mobile home in the upscale Montauk Shores area and an oceanfront property in East Hampton. The Hamptons have long been a hotspot for the rich and famous, with properties commanding millions of dollars, as seen in the record-breaking sale of an 800-square-foot oceanfront trailer for $3.75 million. The area’s allure has attracted notable figures like the co-founder of Vitaminwater, Darius Bikoff, and even musician Jimmy Buffet, who once vied for a property in the region.
Jake Loeb and Henry Cornell Jr.’s performance at Montauk’s Surf Lodge not only impressed the audience but also showcased their musical talents and dedication to their craft. Despite their privileged backgrounds, the young musicians have carved out their own path in the music industry, setting the stage for promising careers ahead.
