Jacob Collier
Biography
Born in 1994, Jacob Collier is a musician and multi-instrumentalist, based in London, England. His interests encompass sounds from many cultures and genres: jazz, folk, acapella, groove, electronic production, gospel, renaissance and classical music, and improvisation.
Jacob was born into a world of continuous music-making, surrounded by a house full of music and a family of musicians. He composed and created music from his earliest years, with no formal musical training. At the age of 8, he began taking singing lessons, which led to opportunities as a treble singer and an actor: He travelled to Budapest in 2004 to play the role of ‘Tiny Tim’ in the Hallmark film adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’, and then a few years later to Parma (Italy) Oviedo (Spain) and the London Coliseum (with ENO) to sing the role of ‘Miles’ in three separate productions of Benjamin Britten’s ‘The Turn of the Screw’. Other appearances included Keith Warner’s critically acclaimed production of “Wozzeck” at the Royal Opera House in London (2002), speaking the voice of young Mozart (Naxos audiobooks, 2002), and Mozart’s Magic Flute with ENO at the London Coliseum (2007). Combining elements from all these experiences, Jacob continued to develop his own musical sound, using his voice, his hands, and the instruments around him.
At 14, having been awarded the gold medal by ABRSM for attaining the highest mark in the country for his Grade 8 Singing, Jacob joined the Royal College of Music Junior Department as a composer. Opportunities here included being commissioned to write a piece inspired by a Henry Moore sculpture, as part of a collaboration with the London School of Contemporary Dance. Around this time, Jacob also got his hands on a double bass and began to explore the piano. His love for harmonic experiment and improvised music brought him to discover jazz; and, following this discovery, in September of 2010, Jacob joined the Royal Academy of Music Junior Jazz department as a pianist, and the Purcell School, studying composition, jazz piano and voice, as well as for his A-levels.
Today, at 18, Jacob studies as a Jazz Pianist at London’s Royal Academy of Music, under the guidance of some extraordinary musicians. He continues to experiment endlessly with new sounds, stretching his own harmonic and rhythmic boundaries and taking his own music to new places.
