As a musician, he uses the alias Raleigh Ritchie; his debut album, You're a Man Now, Boy, was released in 2016 to very positive reviews.
Background

His parents divorced when he was 18 months old and his father soon remarried. Through his father subsequent marriage, who now works as an undertaker, he has half-sisters, although he has not revealed details.
Education
Jacob was a very anxious kid. He was bullied at primary school and responded by making myself as anonymous as possible at secondary school. Lessons didn’t interest him, and he used his exercise books as diaries. Jacob wrote pages about how he was feeling and gradually realized he was crafting song lyrics.
At the age of 17, Anderson moved to London in order to launch his music career. He played Angelo in the film 4.3.2.1. He starred in the ITV drama series Injustice as Simon, a teenager in a youth offender institution. He also had a one-episode guest role on Outnumbered. He also appeared in an episode of Skins, and appeared in the feature film Comedown, co-starring Adulthood's Adam Deacon and directed by Kidulthood director Menhaj Huda. Anderson featured in various plays, including Dunsinane for the RSC, King Lear (with Pete Postlethwaite) at the Young Vic Theatre, and War Horse at the National Theatre. He was seen in the teen slasher film Demons Never Die, playing Ricky, and appeared in the BBC Two comedy Episodes, alongside Matt LeBlanc and Stephen Mangan.
In 2006, Anderson was featured as a vocalist on Typesun's "The PL". They released another track in 2007, titled "Let Me Know." Anderson recorded a song with Plan B, which was featured on the Adulthood soundtrack, titled "Plan B".
In 2012, Anderson was cast for the third season of HBO's television series Game of Thrones as Grey Worm, the leader of the Unsullied. Anderson continued to portray this role through season 4, season 5, season 6, season 7 and season 8. He played Dean Thomas, the boyfriend of Chloe Latimer, on the ITV drama Broadchurch in 2013.
In 2013, Anderson signed to Columbia Records, and released a free three-track EP, The Middle Child, under the stage name Raleigh Ritchie. A second EP, Black and Blue, followed in 2014.
In March 2014, his track "Stronger Than Ever" from Black and Blue was remixed by UK garage producer M. J. Cole and released as a standalone single; it debuted in the Official Singles Chart at number thirty. "Stronger Than Ever" has been used in television adverts promoting the launch of ITV Encore, as well as in montage videos during Sky Sports' coverage of Professional Darts Corporation events. The song peaked at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart. Anderson supported George Ezra on his Spring 2015 UK tour.
His debut album, You're a Man Now, Boy, was released on 26 February 2016; it debuted on the Official Albums Chart, peaking at number thirty-two, but left the charts the following week due to low sales. He also featured on Stormzy’s debut album Gang Signs & Prayer track 13 – "Don't Cry For Me" which was released on 24 February 2017.
