Initially trained on the <strong>violin<\/strong>, Jacob quickly explored other instruments and excelled as a vocalist, earning a prize from the <strong>Royal Schools of Music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacob gained international attention with his multi-instrumental cover of Stevie Wonder\u2019s <strong>\u201cDon\u2019t You Worry \u2019Bout a Thing\u201d<\/strong>, which he performed entirely himself. The viral sensation caught the eye of <strong>Quincy Jones<\/strong>, propelling Jacob onto major stages like <strong>Ronnie Scott\u2019s Jazz Club<\/strong> and the <strong>Montreux Jazz Festival<\/strong> in 2015. His rendition of <strong>\u201cJerusalem\u201d<\/strong> was featured in a <strong>Rugby World Cup<\/strong> campaign that same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacob\u2019s debut album, <strong>In My Room<\/strong> (2016), was crafted entirely in his bedroom studio and supported by a crowdfunding campaign with endorsements from <strong>Jamie Cullum<\/strong> and <strong>Ben Folds<\/strong>. The album\u2019s release marked the beginning of a global festival tour and earned him his first <strong>Grammy Awards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With six <strong>Grammy Awards<\/strong> to date, Jacob has since embarked on his ambitious <strong>Djesse<\/strong> album cycle, collaborating with a wide range of artists, including <strong>Metropole Orkest<\/strong>, <strong>Brandi Carlile<\/strong>, <strong>Michael McDonald<\/strong>, <strong>John Legend<\/strong>, <strong>Stormzy<\/strong>, <strong>Chris Martin<\/strong>, <strong>Steve Vai<\/strong>, <strong>Yelle<\/strong>, and more.
