Jacob Tolliver's entertainment roots began at an early age dazzling his teachers and classmates at Portsmouth West High School in the deepest most Southern region of Appalachian Ohio. Jake learned to sing, perform, and act by gravitating to his old school heroes like Dick Van Dyke, Tony Bennett, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others. In 2013 at the age of 19, Jake was selected to be the understudy for the role of Jerry Lee Lewis, "The Killer," in the Las Vegas production of "Million Dollar Quartet."
