Jacob Anthony Perez, born on April 21 in California, is an American national. He proudly identifies as “Blaxican,” a term reflecting his mixed African-American and Mexican heritage. Raised by his mother, who has both American and Mexican ancestry, Perez grew up in a single-parent household after his father left when Jacob was young. From an early age, Perez showed a strong interest in the performing arts, particularly dancing and singing, which became evident when he began pursuing these talents at the age of eleven.
In 2008, Perez joined the boy band Mindless Behavior as a singer and vocalist. The group, signed under Interscope Records, included three other members and quickly rose to popularity. Perez, known by his stage name “Princeton,” helped shape the band’s identity and appeal through his vocal talent and charisma. The group’s debut single, “My Girl,” was released in 2010, and they gained national attention by touring with high-profile artists such as Justin Bieber, the Backstreet Boys, and Janet Jackson.
Mindless Behavior’s success culminated in the release of their debut studio album, which became a top-selling album in the United States. The band was particularly influential among young audiences for blending R&B and pop with youthful themes and fashionable aesthetics.
