Guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer and songwriter. There is nothing that 23-year old wunderkind Jacob Collier can´t do on stage. The multi-instrumentalist from England is hailed by many as one of the most prodigious and innovative musicians and thinkers of his generation.
Jacob, who is mostly self-taught, has been creating music for all of his 23 years. In 2012, he began to share some of these creations with the world via YouTube. These self-produced multi-tracked audio-visual creations, born from his family home in London, began to attract ears from all over the world, racking up tens of millions of views. One day in 2013, Quincy Jones’ ears heard Jacob’s sounds, and he signed Jacob to his management label to help bring some of his ideas to life.
In 2016, Jacob released his debut album, “In My Room”, which was entirely self-recorded, arranged, performed and produced in London. From winning two Grammy awards for his debut album, to playing 150 shows in 26 countries on his One-Man-Show World Tour, to collaborations with Hans Zimmer, Herbie Hancock, Pharrell, Tori Kelly, Snarky Puppy, Metropole Orkest, Samsung and Apple, to speaking at the TED Conference 2017, to harmonising hundreds of fans’ #IHarmU melodies to crowdfund his musical adventures, to teaching masterclasses and confounding music theorists around the globe with chords and rhythms that shouldn’t exist, to improvising circlesongs with musicians on the streets of the world, to simply walking through the rain — Jacob’s life is full of different colours. He learns new things every day.
