From YouTube sensation to global superstar, 28-year-old British singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier has turned the music world on its ear, pairing his boundless musical ability with cutting edge technology to redefine the meaning of “solo performance.”
Born to a pair of classical violinists and music educators, Collier was singing and performing from childhood. He first made waves when the homemade video of his stunning a capella version of “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory became a viral phenomenon, introducing the world to his four and a half octave vocal range and staggering approach to harmony, overdubbing his voice over a dozen times to create a densely rich musical tapestry.
