Jacob Collier is an English singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. In 2012, his homemade split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", began to go viral on YouTube. Collier's style fuses elements of jazz, a cappella, groove, folk, electronic music, classical music, gospel, soul and improvisation, and often features extreme use of reharmonisation. In 2014, Collier signed to Quincy Jones' management company and began working on his one-man, audio-visual live performance vehicle, designed and built at MIT in Cambridge, Ma.. On 1 July 2016, Collier released his debut album, In My Room, which was entirely self-recorded, arranged, performed and produced in his home in London. In February 2017, Collier was awarded two Grammys for his arrangements of "Flintstones" and "You And I", both from the album. On January 1 2018, Collier began working on Djesse, an ambitious four-volume, 40-song album. It's been described as a "journey through every musical genre under the sun", featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles. The first quartile, Djesse Vol. 1, was released in December of 2018; and the second, Djesse Vol. 2, is due to be released July 19th 2019. Collier grew up in North London with his parents and two younger sisters.[3] He attended Mill Hill County High School in North London, and The Purcell School for Young Musicians in Bushey, Hertfordshire. Collier also studied jazz piano at the Royal Academy of Music. His mother, Susan Collier, is a music teacher, violinist, and conductor at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Collier's maternal grandfather, Derek Collier, was a violinist who also taught at the Royal Academy of Music and performed with orchestras around the world. Regarding the role music plays within his family, Collier says, "We sing Bach chorales together as family – it's just so much fun."
