Jakob Danger’s parents, Billie Joe and Adrienne, tied their marital knot on 2 July 1994 in their backyard, which lasted for only five minutes. Though his mom and dad’s wedding ceremony was short, it represented many different religions.
Reportedly, Jakob’s parents met for the first time at a concert in 1990 via their mutual friend, Erica.

Since then, the romantic couple is adoring their togetherness and living happily with their two kids, Jakob Danger and his brother, Joseph Marciano Armstrong aka Joey Armstrong.
Jakob Danger’s Siblings
As hinted above, the 23-years old Jakob Danger has an elder brother named Joseph Marciano, also known by the name Joey. His big brother, Joey, arrived in this world, making Billie and Adrienne parents for the first time on 28 February 1995. According to sources, Adrienne discovered that she was pregnant with their first child just a day after their nuptials in the backyard.
Like their famed dad, Jakob Danger’s brother, Joey also chose to be in the music industry while growing up. Currently, he is the main drummer for the band SWMRS, initially Emily’s Army. Joey founded the band after he and his fellow band member, Cole Becker, watched the musical-comedy School of Rock.
Also, Joey did drums for his family band The Boo’s 2011 self-titled EP. The EP had four songs where Billie and Jakob provided guitars and bass, and Adrienne was the singer.

For some years, Jakob is showing his musical skills via the band Ultra Q, formerly Danger!. It was also named Mt. Eddy before Jakob, and his band members renamed it Ultra Q in 2019. He started the band when he was like 16 or 17. And, then, the rest of his band members were even younger than him.

Before that, when their previous band, Jakob Danger, was still around, they released a self-titled debut EP out in 2017. They released the EP via Burger Records after posting a few songs on SoundCloud and YouTube.
Lately, Jakob and his Ultra Q band members are working hard on recording and writing more music. And, though they have already started playing a few shows, they wish to go touring a lot and play many more shows. So we hope his wish will be fulfilled soon and hope to hear and see him achieving success in the industry just like his celebrity dad.
Performed A Cover of A Song With His Dad And Brother

We hope to see the Armstrong boys performing together on the same stage more often in the upcoming days.
Has Got Different Music Taste Than His Dad
Born into a musical family and immersed in art since birth, it would be easy for Jakob Danger to bask in the clout of his famous family. However, he actually aims to do the exact opposite. Jakob Danger is striking out to building his name in his own rights and hence, doing his best to create something different than his dad.
Aforementioned, Jakob and his Ultra Q Band released their single ‘Redwood‘ in 2019. It was also his first attempt to define the differences between the new and the old music. He told Hollywood Life that Redwood was sort of about nostalgia.
Danger added that it certainly relates to when he first came home after a while. He added it also relates to talking about all those old obsessions he used to have when he was a kid. Jakob further explained that his band’s first song was a good bridge between their old songs and the new ones they are currently working on.
Named His Current Band After Ultraman
The emerging singer-songwriter Jakob Danger once revealed the inspiration behind the name of his band, Ultra Q. According to Danger, when he was a kid, he loved watching the show called Ultraman, and he was super into it.

Later, Jakob discovered a sequel series of Ultraman, called Ultra Q, and his band member, Enzo, is also super into such kind of stuff. So, they started discussing out it together. And finally, they ended up using the name Ultra Q as a homage to something they loved when they were kids and still do.
