Jacob Collier

Young jazz sensation Jacob Collier is coming to The Red Room on September 29th! Don't miss out!

Jacob Collier is recognized as one of the world’s most distinctive, inventive, and prodigious young musicians. Based in London, England, his music combines elements of jazz, a cappella, Brazilian, gospel, and soul (to name a few). He has embraced the world of the internet to share his uniquely creative talent, becoming best known for creating his trademark multi-faceted YouTube videos from his music room at home, where he sings all the parts, plays all the instruments, and visualizes every component with a mosaic of screens. Since his first YouTube upload in December 2011, Collier's online social channels have garnered over 100,000 international followers and more than 6 million YouTube views.

Collier was involved in Beats by Dre’s Ruby World Cup The Game Starts Here television and online campaign, where he arranged and recorded “Jerusalem” as the soundtrack for their spot. The video on YouTube has garnered over 7.5 million views. Most recently, he released his second single, “Flintstones,” from his debut album In My Room after the successful launch of his first single “Hideaway” in the month prior.

Admission: $25 general public (standing room only)
