His contributions to the Danish music scene are characterized by his soulful voice and thoughtful lyrics, often interwoven with the sounds of folk and modern pop melodies.

Kragh-Jacobsen's musical career spans decades, with early successes like his self-titled debut album released in 1972. His storytelling in music often reflects a deep affinity for human emotion and social commentary, paralleling his narrative strengths as a filmmaker. Over the years, he has consistently released music that resonates with audiences, including well-received albums and singles. His most recent releases, such as "Tranedans" and "Vil Du Se Min Smukke Navle," along with "Hinkeruder På Motorvejen & Tur Retur," "Tur-Retur," and "Hinkeruder På Motorvejen," continue to showcase his artistic versatility and his enduring appeal as a musician. Kragh-Jacobsen's dual talents as a director and musician have made him a cherished figure in both the Danish cultural lexicon and the international artistic community.
