- To follow his 2016 debut album "In My Room," in which he played every instrument, and recorded every vocal track, all inside a small room in his childhood home in North London, Jacob Collier didn't record one album - he recorded a four-album cycle. Using the editing software Logic, the six-time Grammy-winner made himself sound like an orchestra and choir, blending R&B, pop, jazz and everything-in-between while working with some of the biggest acts in music. With the latest installment, "Djesse Vol. 4," Collier collaborates with such artists as Brandi Carlile, Camilo, Chris Martin and John Legend. Correspondent Conor Knighton talks with Collier about the "emotional, chemical reaction" that comes from his musical alchemy.

We are EXTREMELY lucky to have Jacob sharing his gifts right now.
Totally👍, but also he himself is extremely lucky to have his Mum who, I'm sure, noticed and then helped him develop his amazing talent👏 Sadly, I know many parents actively discourage their kids from pursuing their potential music career thinking they're caring for their kids' future, coaxing them instead into 'safe' professions.
@@robertskolimowski7049 How true! People do not change... Just recently I read the autobiography of Kraftwerk's Karl Bartos who totally had to break with his parents because his father wanted to push him into a "safe" job. I am glad he followed his talent, and, yes, I am also glad that Jacob had the opportunity to develop his amazing, stunning, outstanding, and absolutely unique talent!
I was fortunate enough to see Jacob perform at the Quincy Jones' 90th Birthday Celebration at the Hollywood Bowl last summer. He performed "Human Nature" with an orchestra, conducted by his mother. I'll never forget that performance. It was exquisite.
“It’s going to sound like a mess because the world is a mess” So it sounds familiar :) I went to the Hollywood Bowl concert and it was a beautiful experience the sights and of course the amazing sounds. Love this interview!
Been a fan since “In My Room” and haven’t looked back. What an absolute legend
He’s a genius…I love his spirit
Kids these days… are beautiful.
His music has it all--groove, tonality, complexity, intellect, simplicity.....
This is one of my favorite interviews of JC. Very well done capturing the nuances succinctly!
I 💖 Jacob Collier's music. A fan since he first started, I'm now happier than ever that many others will get to know the joy of his music through this interview. He has a lot of very uplifting positive music from every generation and genre.
Love his new album. So cool he collaborated with Kirk Franklin on a couple of songs.

For sure. Jacob has had an incredibly privileged musical upbringing. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t have that.
Pure magic!
Jacob has been my favorite musician for 2 years! So grateful he is being recognized for his abilities. Such a blessing for our planet. ❤❤
His wisdom bro… how is he this legendary
Great video, I felt like I learned something as a fan of Jacob
I am 61 year 61-year-old female and I love his music and talent, he is such a spiritual human being who speaks to us through his music for all cultures.
“Which was a big jump”
I hate bad journalism. My man literally composed an entire album with the Metropole Orkest
An incredible, unmatched, creative, generous human.
The man isn't anything below the world's greatest musician of our time. And he's just 29. Saw him in Munich last year, will see him in Düsseldorf this November. You do not have to be a musician to listen to him (though it definitely helps with the inside jokes). You just have to have an open heart and open ears willing to listen to the totally unexpectable.
He is truly wonderful
Musical genius, without a shred of a doubt!
I'm blown away by this artist's talents, vision, all of it! Grateful for you, Jacob Collier!
Great piece. Nice to see people are finally starting to understand what’s so special about Jacob and what drives him. I think I speak for all of us who have been following him for over a decade, it’s so nice to finally see Jacob hitting it big. It’s gives us hope that real talent still rises above the noise.
Even those brief snippets brought tears to my eyes. This guy is talented on levels unperceived in this generation - and we've had some powerful voices, but this is next level's next level. If you are watching THIS on CZcams and have not watched JC's masterpieces, do it now. Just go awa-
Good they left. More instant fans...
Not entirely true, Quincy Jones asked to manage him and Jacob asked if they could be friends instead
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's adorable 😍 and he gets to work with Brandi Carlisle!! 😄❤
Brandi gets to work with Jacob 😉, but really - he can call ANY musician in the world, asking them "record me this", and they will do it without hesitation
@@micosilver 🤠🙏
I do like that his personal philosophy seems to be intertwined with his musical style perfectly.
Not the biggest fan of his music, but I commend his skills and creativity 👍.
Awesome 👌
Unbelievable talent!
Genuinely happy to see that very talented young man being recognized for producing real music and actually playing live instruments. I’m so sick of frauds like Kanye West, who cannot play any instrument, not even a hand drum, because he has no rhythm, or sing a single note on key because he’s completely tone deaf, winning 24 Grammys, and being called “the greatest musician in the world”, when he doesn’t even write his own verses, but has a team of writers. It’s artists like Jacob Collier, who should be getting the opportunity to fill the air with original music. I play 15 instruments, write and sing all my own tracks, and produce all my own music, beats, and videos, but it seems only those who sell their souls have the chance to be heard. That needs to change.
Amazing
Our generations Mozart
yes! agree
he makes me think of Brian Wilson
Interesting what talent and tech can produce now in music and filmmaking. No amount of tech can compensate for no talent (of which he has plenty)...
Too bad nobody at CBS Sunday Morning had a clue of what they were reporting on.
He's a bit like if Pentatonix went jazz
Funnily enough, Jacob Collier did arrange a song for Pentatonix years ago. Lol
And then God gave us Jacob Collier to apologize to the world for sending us Donald Trump! And he blossomed to be a creative, compassionate, healer for all mankind.
Jay Odice
A real genius unlike Kanye
Very disappointing the word JAZZ wasn't used once in this piece. Kind of slap in the face to Gene Puerling and take 6 - obvious influences in his writing. He's a jazz pianist too
Not a jazz fan
When you’re astronomically talented, fully aware of it, and your music is meh.
Too much fluffy production gimmicks, not enough substance
He’s very talented for sure, but everything he does seems show off-y. And it’s actually not very interesting.
You may be blocking your own talent. FYI
He literally explained it in the video
I find it interesting. And I don’t think he’s trying to show off either, he just loves music and exploring what he can do with it and these are the results. You can accuse him of being a show-off when he actually tries to put someone down.
Hater. It may not be interesting to you, but to millions of other people in the world it is and I’m one of them.
Even by ordinary standards, he's a notably humble and respectful person. Given the almost unprecedented level of the musical and expressive talent he possesses, the fact that he is so well able to articulate a clear vision of the best of humanity and to describe and relate to the kinds of frailties and fears that inhabit all of us, and to instil hope and joy through his music, is almost otherworldly. I assure you, you've not got him accurately pinned with your early impression. Persevere. :-)
Awful music for boring liberals….can’t watch anymore…
And you play.. which musical instruments?
Give him one last chance
One more song: World O World
If you say that "World O World" is awful I don't think you like any kind of music
Seriously, just listen to World O World, just 4 or so minutes of your lifetime
what does being liberal have to do with music? you sound very ignorant with this comment
Nothing beats Ted Nugent, does it?
@@donyoung7874 or really anything but this crap…
