Jacob Collier (b. 2 August 1994) is a British musician and producer.
Jacob’s Ladder
Jacob Collier sang and played
All the parts in vids he made,
Piling up impressive stacks
Of blended pre-recorded tracks.
As his “likes” began to spiral
Soon he, as they say, went viral.
Perhaps he yields to the seduction
Of the joys of post-production,
And it's true that, at their core,
In his arrangements more is more.
Still, we shouldn’t second guess
The art behind his huge success,
When from that start with his own cam, he’s
Gone to winning at the Grammys.
