Jacob Collier In Concert
Jacob Collier has long had a voice and talent far beyond his years. The North London, England-based vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, composer, producer, and all-around music theory prodigy has music in his blood — literally. Collier's mother, Susan, is a music teacher, conductor, and violinist at London's Royal Academy of Music, the same place his grandfather taught. As a kid, Jacob attended The Purcell School for Young Musicians and performed in productions of Mozart's The Magic Flute and Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the Screw.
But it wasn't until Collier began experimenting on his own that his music career took off. At age 17, he began uploading complex music videos that showed every vocal and instrumental part of a song, including keys, strings, percussion, and even as many as 14 vocal harmonies. These impressive videos, featuring covers of songs by artists like Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach, and George Gershwin, quickly went viral, enough to get the attention of legendary musician Quincy Jones. Around the same time, a PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab began working with Collier on a one-man multimedia experience to capture all of his talents at once in a live setting.
By 2015, the then 20-year-old was ready to debut his technologically stunning show, featuring effects like 3D video loops and a vocal harmonizer, in London. Soon after, he took the show to Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival, where he opened for Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, and then onward to stages across the globe.
Already a master performer, Collier soon got to work on his debut album, In My Room, which came out in summer 2016. Just like his shows, the album was all Jacob — he wrote, arranged, played every instrument, and recorded the entire album on his own, all in his family's London home. The following year, two of the covers featured on the album, Stevie Wonder's "You and I" and ‘The Flintstones' theme song "Flintstones," won Grammy Awards for Best Arrangement.
After two-and-half grueling years on the road, including collaborations and performances with orchestras from around the world, Collier took time to work on his follow-up release. He announced that his second album would actually be a four-volume set, with the first volume, Djesse (Vol. 1) appearing in late 2018. Stay tuned for plenty more music from this unstoppable phenom.
GO SEE HIM LIVE!! He is a musical genius. I don't live all of his recorded music, but his capability is incredible. The live concert with just him and a few instruments was the best performance I've ever seen.
Amazing! Jacob Collier is incredibly talented, held the audience captive the entire time
I have listened to Jacob Collier and marvelled at his knowledge, his skill, his talent, and his sense of fun, but I wasn't prepared for how his performance on April 14 would transform music into a life changing experience. I have come away with a new shift of perspective. I haven't felt this intense reaction to a performance since Bobby McFerrin. I have heard people call Jacob Collier the Mozart of our time. Absolutely, yes.
10/10. He is a genius and his shows show ingenuity. His encore was 15 minutes!!
Attended Jacob Collier's concert in Costa Mesa and it was spectacular. Talk about engaging with an audience! He sang beautifully the entire time and made sure to include the audience in almost every piece he was performing. Beautiful arrangements and great backup vocals and performers.
I saw him at the Segerstrom Theatre and he was incredible. His improvisation throughout the concert was jaw dropping, and he was so interactive with the crowd. Harmonies, Acoustics, everything was on point. If you get the chance to see him, it would be stupid not to go
The show had serious flaws. Jacob's wonderful voice was drowned out by the bass being turned up too high and by the mike by the drummer's bass drum being too loud. I did not enjoy any song when the drums were playing. It ruined the overall concert. When Jacob was playing solo the sound was wonderful and I enjoyed the songs.
Artists can sing all their different songs, but no concert will have such a unified dedicated fan base, nor a more unique and interesting performance
Jacob live is a not-to-be-missed experience. On top of that, his band is incredible, truly first rate. Alita Moses might be the best singer I’ve ever heard. Last but not least, they all, including his crew, look like they’re having the time of their lives.
I literally don't have enough words to express how insanely good this concert was! Jacob Collier is a musical GENIUS! His entire team is absolutely talented! From the singers, to the media team and all the security, you guys really held it down. I don't usually go to concerts but this was one for the books for sure! The harmonies, the music and the lighting were spectacular. All I will say is if you have a chance to see Jacob Collier...DO IT. Buy the ticket and go! You won't regret a minute of it at all!!!!
