Jakob Nowell discusses stepping into the lead singer role for Sublime and why it took him years to feel comfortable carrying on the legacy of his father, Bradley Nowell. Nowell breaks down what it was like playing Coachella with Sublime as his first real show. The pressure of scrutiny, and the moment it finally “clicked” onstage in Arizona when he stopped thinking and started playing.
The conversation digs deeper from there, including touring as a way of life, why chaos can feel like home, and how he’s tried to connect with a father he never knew through music. Jakob also opens up about addiction, getting sober at 21, and how mentorship (and the right people) changed everything.
