Beloved by audiences, musicians and critics the world over, and heralded as one of the most groundbreaking artists of the 21st century, singer-songwriter, producer, arranger & multi-instrumentalist and world-builder Jacob Collier has taken the music industry by storm. With a depth and imaginatory infinity that is beyond question, Jacob plays, writes and communicates with a human warmth, openness and drastic inclusivity that melts hearts, explodes minds, and inspires millions. Jacob’s radically joyous and genre-bridging discography has led to seven GRAMMY wins and 16 GRAMMY nominations, making him the first British artist in history to win at least one Grammy for each of his first 5 studio albums. His fearless approach to music has attracted a plethora of 100+ collaborators, including Coldplay, SZA, Shawn Mendes, John Mayer, Stormzy, Kirk Franklin, Tori Kelly, Anoushka Shankar, Quincy Jones, Oumou Sangaré, Hans Zimmer and Joni Mitchell. 2025’s The Light For Days - Collier’s latest album - finds him at his most present and immediate, and centered around a single instrument: the guitar.

Through alternate tunings (“DAEAD”) and techniques, he trades scale for intimacy. Recorded and produced in only four days, The Light For Days reflects a core pillar of Collier’s artistry, offering a sonic counterpart to the moments in his live shows when everything falls away to just him and the music he loves. Whether it's writing songs in keys that don't exist, breaking track-count limits in DAWs, or bringing 100,000 people together in improvised song - Jacob continues to push the boundaries of what's creatively possible, with the mission of uniting and inspiring human beings across every continent of the world in a language beyond words. All the while, he is brewing up his next a
