Obviously twenty nine-year-old Jacob Collier is a genius. Interestingly, his birth name is Jacob Moriarty. With such a name has he an Irish, Kerry background? He is partly of Chinese descent, through his maternal grandmother, Lila Wong.
His mother, Susie Collier, is a violinist, conductor and professor at the Royal Academy of Music’s Junior Academy.
“We sing Bach chorales together as family - it’s just so much fun,” he says.
Interesting to know what he has to say about words. He says in this clip: "no one has a clue why music is so important.” He sees music as putting things together that are bigger than you.”
Interesting to know does he believe in God.
The clip is just over 30 minutes, a half hour well spent.

I wouldn't rejoice to much, Father. Any type of sanction is counter-productive. It only leads to disillusionment, and anger and bitterness. This happens when schools expel people. If we can't talk to people face to face and try and sort it out before it causes uproar. If you use an iron fist we are no more than dictators. Avoid expulsions at all costs even when a someone considers themseves dyed in the wool orthodox catholics and preaching heresy.
surely there must be a better way of dealing with these situation instead of holding a peron up to world criticism.
