Biography

British multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and artist. Born: 2 August 1994 in Finchley, North London, UK. Collier incorporates elements from a variety of musical genres (jazz in particular), and often focuses his compositions and arrangements around varying types of harmonization. Among nine total Grammy Award nominations as of November 2021, Collier is the first British artist to receive an award for each of an artist's first four studio albums, winning a total of five to date. He started releasing Youtube videos in the late 2000s, often featuring quarter-note harmonies, soon releasing some tracks on [l=Bandcamp] where jazz pianist [a=Herbie Hancock] picked up on them, and eventually connecting with world-renowned producer [a=Quincy Jones] – both of which helped him launch his career. Later, film music composer/producer [a=Hans Zimmer] connected with him, with Collier doing a version of track the "Flintstones" on his debut album "[Link]" (2016). He also began doing a multi-month world tour, performing with [a=Jules Buckley] and the [a=Metropole Orchestra] and many others across genres for his series of three albums "[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/1522891-Jacob-Collier-With-Metropole-Orkest-Conducted-By-Jules-Buckley-Djesse-Vol-1]Djesse[/url]" (2018-2020), pronounced "jay cee" after Collier's initials. He has also worked with another of his idols, US vocal harmony group [a=Take 6], who featured with others including his mother [a6960254] at his own night at "The Proms" annual summer of classical music concerts held at the [a=Royal Albert Hall] in London, UK – where they also played footage of his grandfather [a562375] playing lead orchestra violin at a Proms performance in 1964. Son of classical violinist, conductor, and music teacher [a6960254]; maternal grandson of violinist and orchestra leader [a562375].

LYRICS

I see the whole world in your eyes
I'm gonna watch you rise
Like an angel in the night
You are bringing me back to life
And I say
I don't know where you come from
I don't know where I've been
You're finding a way through all my black and white
And I know that I'm gonna see the light

And it's like heaven
There's a rainbow hanging over me in heaven
When you are close to me, heaven
So take me up into the light I see and shine on me
You are so heavenly

Saw the old house burning down
It didn't make a sound
If what is lost cannot be found
Then will everything come around?
Will you stay rocking my whole foundation?
All of my walls come down (Come down)
Out of this whole creation
You're the one who's gonna make me feel alive

'Cause you're my heaven (You are my heaven)
There's a rainbow hanging over me in heaven (You are my heaven)
When you are close to me, heaven (You are my heaven)
So take me up into the light I see
And shine (Shine, shine, shine, shine) on me
(Shine on me, shine on me, shine on me)
Shine (Shine on me)

I can feel your butterflies
I'm awake and I wanna be
Yeah, I can feel your butterflies
Pour your love all over me
I can feel your butterflies
Baby, I won't ever sleep
Baby, if I'm going blind, you're
Only light I'll ever need

I can feel your butterflies (I can feel your butterflies)
I'm awake and I wanna be (I'm awake and I wanna be)
Baby, if I'm going blind, you're (Baby, if I'm going blind)
Only light I'll ever need (Only light I'll ever need)
Only light I'll ever need
Only light I'll ever need
