More About Jacob Collier
Beloved by audiences, musicians and critics the world over, Jacob Collier has taken the music industry by storm. His radically joyous and genre-bridging discography has led to seven Grammy wins and 16 Grammy nominations, making him the first British artist in history to win at least one Grammy for each of his first 5 studio albums. Collier pushes the boundaries of what's creatively possible: writing songs in keys that don't exist, breaking track-count limits in DAWs, utilizing illegal chords, and colliding musical particles in an overall quantum fashion.
Collier’s fearless approach to music has attracted more than 100 legendary collaborators, including Coldplay, SZA, Shawn Mendes, John Mayer, Stormzy, Kirk Franklin, Tori Kelly, T-Pain, Anoushka Shankar, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Hans Zimmer, and Joni Mitchell. Perhaps his most groundbreaking collaboration is that with his audience. To date, Collier has recorded and incorporated the voices of over 100,000 audience members in 23 languages into Djesse Vol. 4, the final volume in his 7 years quadrilogy, which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys, his second AOTY nomination for this body of work. This 'Audience Choir' phenomenon, which continues to evolve through improvised moments at his concerts, challenges the status quo of what's possible between an artist and their audience, uniting greater and greater legions of human beings across every continent of the world in a language beyond words.
Collier’s 2025 album The Light for Days finds him at his most present and immediate, and centered around a single instrument: the guitar. During a brief trip home to London, sitting in the same music room where his career began, he chose to explore his 5-string and 10-string signature Taylor acoustic guitars more fully than he ever had before. Through alternate tunings (“DAEAD”) and techniques, he trades scale for intimacy. Recorded and produced in only four days, The Light For Days reflects a core pillar of Collier’s artistry, offering a sonic counterpart to the moments in his live shows when everything falls away to just him and the music he loves.
Leading with an effervescent curiosity, Jacob Collier speaks to global audiences with a mission to unite and inspire human beings across every continent in a language beyond words.
