It’s not often one encounters an imagination with the depth and prolificacy of Jacob Collier’s. The London-based 28-year-old is dubbed by many as one of the most innovative musicians of his generation. In 2012, Jacob's self-made YouTube videos achieved legendary status in the music world, attracting the praise of such luminaries as Herbie Hancock, David Crosby, Steve Vai and Quincy Jones, who manages Jacob to this day. Jacob’s debut album, In My Room, crafted entirely in his room at home, went on to win two Grammy's.

In January of 2018, Jacob began designing and creating a recording project on an unprecedented scale—a quadruple album called Djesse: 50 songs, divided between four volumes, with each operating within a separate musical universe of sound, style and genre. Scattered across the four volumes are over thirty collaborators from across every facet of the music world. Djesse Volumes 1, 2, & 3 have earned him a Grammy each, affirming that Collier is the first British artist to win a Grammy for each of his first four albums.
