Jacob Collier

Jacob Collier is genuinely one of the most mind-bending musicians alive right now, and I mean that without any hyperbole. This London-born multi-instrumentalist started posting bedroom covers on YouTube as a teenager and somehow ended up with six Grammy Awards for arrangement before he was 30 — which is insane when you think about it. What gets me is that his music isn't just technically impressive in that cold, show-offy way; there's real warmth and joy in everything he does, from the way he uses negative harmony to the ridiculous audience choir moments at his live shows where he literally conducts thousands of people into singing chords they've never heard before. He's basically a one-man music school wrapped in an entertainer's body, and I genuinely think future musicians will study him the way we study Stevie Wonder or Herbie Hancock.
