Grammy-nominated music genius Jacob Collier has always been known for his humility and deep admiration for fellow artists. As the 2024 Grammy Awards approach, the multi-talented musician opened up about who he’d prefer to lose to if he doesn’t take home a trophy.
In a recent interview, Collier, who has earned multiple nominations this year, was asked if he had a favorite contender among his fellow nominees. His response was refreshingly honest and filled with appreciation for the competition.
“If I had to lose to someone, I’d love for it to be Jon Batiste,” Collier admitted with a smile. “Jon is an incredible artist, and what he brings to music is absolutely inspiring. His passion, creativity, and energy are something I truly admire.”
Collier’s admiration for Batiste comes as no surprise. Both artists share a love for blending genres, pushing musical boundaries, and captivating audiences with their electrifying performances. Batiste, who has previously won Album of the Year, is also a fan favorite and a strong contender in multiple categories.
Despite the friendly competition, Collier remains focused on his craft and the joy of making music. “Awards are amazing, and I’m beyond grateful to be recognized. But at the end of the day, it’s about the music, the connection, and the love for what we do,” he added.
With the Grammy Awards just around the corner, fans are eager to see how the night unfolds. Will Collier take home another golden gramophone, or will he graciously applaud Batiste or another talented nominee from the audience? One thing’s for sure—win or lose, Jacob Collier’s love for music and respect for his peers shine brighter than any award.
