Jacob Collier Facts

During his school days, Jacob used to participate in several plays and musical theatre productions. At the age of 10, he portrayed the role of Tiny Tim in the play A Christmas Carol, where he was credited as Jacob Moriarty, his birth name.

He also performed as a treble singer in classical operas such as The Magic Flute and The Turn of the Screw, which influenced his understanding of musical harmony.

In 2008, Jacob was awarded a Gold medal by the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) for scoring the highest marks in the country in the 8th-grade singing exam.

In July 2015, he recorded an a cappella version of the popular hymn called Jerusalem and it was used for England’s 2015 Rugby World Cup campaign called The Game Starts Here. The anthem, using Jacob’s version, was aired on national television before every England match in that World Cup.

In 2018, Jacob started work on a mega project titled Djesse, a 4-volume album comprising of 50 songs and featuring contributions from more than 20 artists and ensemble groups. Two songs from the first half of the project earned him another couple of nominations for the 2020 Grammy Awards.

In 2017, he reinvented the ringtone Over The Horizon for the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 smartphone. The same year, he collaborated with legendary music composer Hans Zimmer for the background score of the animated film The Boss Baby.

In November 2023, Jacob, Stormzy, Kirk Franklin, and Shawn Mendes released a new song titled Witness Me.
