Juhkam counts Frank Zappa, John Zorn, Jim O Rourke, Trent Reznor, Mike Patton and Estonia’s own Vaiko Eplik amongst his musical influences. His work ranges from symphonic pieces to film soundtracks, and he was commissioned in 2012 to write music for Estonia’s Independence Day concert, showcasing his talent to a diverse local audience. His debut album came out in 2012 on Mortimer Snerd Records, meeting with widespread critical acclaim. Jakob Juhkam Bänd was formed in september 2012 and consist of Jakob Juhkam on keyboards, Marvin Mitt on guitar, Indrek Mällo on bass and Hans Kurvits on drums.
