"Easily" gone platinum
Stoked to get this one up on the wall big beams of love and congrats to my platinum pal Bruno Major - years ago, we wrote our first tune together, “Easily,” and it’s been deeply fun to witness the journey of that tune, and all of Bruno’s music, since then. Numbers of this size far exceed my comprehension ability, but I’m sending a big, heartfelt thanks to all who’ve listened over the years, and to the most epic team of Bruno, Phairo , and Sam Bailey. LP3’s about to go off.
jacob collier 2022 wrap-up
91 shows, 28 countries, infinite depth and beauty this year with the Jacob Collier family. Grateful to my core for Jacob and the potent magic he so generously shares with the world; to this loving and exquisitely musical crew, and to all who sang along and shared in the experience. What a life-affirming adventure.

Thanks to Flood Magazine for this thoughtful feature, including an acoustic video of “Inside Your Heart” that I filmed for them while on tour in Portugal last month.
And big thanks to the Lisbon-based team who helped create the video as well! They rallied with less than a day’s notice, found this beautiful spot, and brought the loveliest energy: Lucas Elliot Eberl, Yves Callewaert, Magnolia Velasquez, Gabriela Laurent, Jonathan Velasquez, and Stephane Bechaud.
lottery (raquel rodriguez x swatkins)
Loved playing some guitar on this most groovy tune with Raquel Rodriguez, Swatkins, Moorea Masa and Jess Best. I adore Raquel’s singing and the musicianship of all of these folks, and posting up in a funky chair surrounded by thriving plant life was a real plus too.
"woven together" album out now
“Woven Together” is out in the wild today! These songs and sounds are an offering from my whole soul, and I’m immensely grateful for all of the forces that came together to make it possible. At the heart of the project is this idea that any act can be an act of prayer or play; an expression of reverence or rebellion (or all of the above ;)…and making this record felt that way from start to finish.

under the radar premiere
indie blog under the radar is premiering my new single “stream of consciousness” today, in advance of its release tomorrow. have a listen here:
Interview : Living Life Fearless
new release: "for free"
Electrified to share the second single from my record, out today : “For Free” 🧡
It’s about experiencing joy and abundance in simple, innate pleasures; also a dig at the systems that try to convince us that we’re more “consumer” than animal or spirit. In an effort to reject that notion, here’s a little funky musical rebellion, made with love and some very dear friends. Hope it compels you to get your groove on.

'not alone' impromptu video with jacob collier
I recently released a a new song, “Not Alone,” and my luminous friend Jacob was kind enough to join me for an acoustic session in London. We just had time for a quick, improvised take in his family’s living room before a band dinner (hence the doorbell ;) , but the joy of playing together felt too good not to share. Thanks to Mogli Maureal for recording video and audio.
