Jazz wunderkind Jacob Collier is no stranger to the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), having had performed two sold-out shows in the 2018 edition of the festival. Returning in the virtual form via SIFA v2.020, the Grammy Award-winning multi-hyphenated musician – multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and singer – is conducting an online music workshop on July 29 at 8pm.
Stretching over an hour, the workshop promises to be an exhilarating session with the freewheeling musical spirit in Jacob Collier's home studio – an ace behind-the-scenes for music fans to get a peek at creating music from home. Follow him through a world of melody where he reveals his recipe for making great tunes that span genre, time, and place. Plus, watch him perform a song or two, talk about creativity in music, share his artistic journey, and answer all your burning music-related questions.
The London-based, 25-year-old has been dubbed by many as one of the most innovative musicians of his generation. Starting out as a bedroom musician, his self-made YouTube videos skyrocketed him to stardom, even catching the attention of music legend Quincy Jones. Since then, he has bagged two Grammy Awards, collaborated with luminaries such as Herbie Hancock and Hans Zimmer, and performed sold-out shows around the world.
