Jacob Collier Instagram – Croz. A mythical legend whom I was lucky enough to call a friend. The epitome of a wizard with a wicked glint in his eye. Full of gentle ferocity. A magic all of his own.
I first met him in New Orleans back in 2015, recording with @snarkypuppy . I’ll never forget the moment we all first heard him sing – the way the room descended into hush. I’d never seen a person capable of doing that in that way before. He was a sorcerer.
The following year David recorded ‘Lighthouse’ in the studio right next door to @hanszimmer ‘s, where I was mixing In My Room. We’d often wander into each other’s sessions to say hello or take a listen. He was loving and brutally honest – I remember playing him my arrangement of the Flintstones, to which he laughed, shook his head and said “that’s like a dog licking its balls – just because it can”.
Our mutual crush on vocal stacks brought us together a handful more times over the years, and I was always grateful to see his face. We’ll miss him here on Earth. Thank you @thedavidcrosby ♥️ | Posted on 20/Jan/2023 06:36:00
