British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Jacob Collier is recognized by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike as one of the most gifted young artists of modern times. Hailing from a musical family, he was introduced to music at an early age, singing Bach chorales with the whole family ‘for fun’. In 2013, his videos on YouTube went viral and Collier caught the attention of Quincy Jones, who signed him to his management company. Earning his first two Grammy’s with songs from his debut album In My Room, he then started work on Djesse, a four-volume, 50-song album featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles. Its last installment, Djesse Vol. 4, was released in 2024. With his music containing elements of everything from orchestral composition to jazz, folk, R&B, rap and pop, the immensely talented Collier turns every performance into a extraordinary spectacle.
As Artist in Residence Collier will bring a different performance every day. In Jacob's Room, he will give a clinic.
