Hey. Today's song is Fascinating Rhythm by Jacob Collier.
So this guy is a musician from London. Music was basically bred into him, since his whole family is made up of musicians. He currently is a student at London’s Royal Academy of Music as a Jazz Pianist. He started taking singing lessons when he was eight which started off quite the career for him. In 2004 Jacob went to Budapest to be In Hallmark's adaption of A Christmas Carol. Then he was cast in three productions of Benjamin Britten’s ‘The Turn of the Screw’ which took him to Italy and Spain. He has also been connected to the Royal Opera House in London and the London Coliseum. At 14, he joined the Royal College of Music Junior Department as a composer. At 16, Jacob joined the Royal Academy of Music Junior Jazz Department as a
pianist, and the Purcell School, studying composition, jazz piano and
voice, as well as for his A-levels. It's at that point when he joined YouTube and started uploading some of his own stuff and compositions, including this song. The inspiration for this is a George Gershwin tune. Jacob took the song and put his own spin on it by changing the arrangement, and then performing all the parts himself. So if you're curious, check this one out. It's a little weird, but still cool.
Peace.
