JACOB COLLIER AUSTRALIAN ‘DJESSE’ TOUR INTERVIEW. TODAY ADDS 2ND MELB, SYD & NZ SHOWS TO TOUR
Jacob Collier is the quintessential modern day Musician. The London-based artist first came to our attention in 2012 with his viral Youtube clip, in which he performed Stevie Wonder’s Don’t You Worry About A Thing, recorded, produced and performed by a whole team of multi-layered Jacob Colliers. He has since gone on to release 4 albums, including 3 parts so far of his ambitious 4 album project DJESSE. The multi-instrumentalist has won 5 Grammy Awards, collaborated with some of the world’s most exciting artists and has been praised by industry legends such as Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock. Just this week he was invited to play on stage with Coldplay and Natalie Imbruglia at Wembley in front of 90,000 people. Jacob was last in Australia a few years ago and in December this year, returns with his full band on his acclaimed DJESSE WORLD TOUR. Due to high demand, Frontier Touring have today announced second Melbourne, Sydney & Auckland shows to the tour.
Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips caught up with Jacob Collier via zoom to chat about his DJESSE album project, the upcoming Australian tour and much more
London based five-time Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier is coming back to Australia in December adding three additional shows to his now 9-date DJESSE WORLD TOUR of Australia and New Zealand this December due to high ticket demand.
