The award-winning singer-songwriter known for his virtuosic multi-instrumentalism, unparalleled vocal harmonies and genre-blending compositions, brings his latest album to life with a level of energy and intricacy that leaves the audience stunned.

A true showman, Collier rotates between pianos, guitars, traditional instruments and modern instruments, showcasing his signature live-looping technique utilising the audience as the final instrument.

Blending sounds like clapping and audience harmonising, Collier crafts an immersive soundscape bringing his four-piece album Djesse to life on stage.
