Hey everybody, it's Minu. Happy holidays. I hope you're getting a chance to rest.

That is what the Ted Radio Hour team and I are definitely doing, but we are also hard at work

on new episodes for the new year. But meanwhile, I want to share with you,

gosh, just one of the most charming episodes of 2022. We spend the hour with musician Jacob

Collier. I know that some of his, um, procosciousness, rubs some people the wrong way, but I just learned

so much from him and his music is truly extraordinary. So if you haven't heard this episode,

all you're in for a treat, if you have heard it, I don't know, keep it on. You might enjoy it again.

Thanks for being here and talk to you soon. This is the Ted Radio Hour.

We are. Each week, groundbreaking Ted Talks. Our job now is to dream big.

Deliver it at Ted Conferences. To bring about the future we want to see.

Around the world. To understand who we are. From those talks, we bring you speakers and ideas

that will surprise you. You just don't know what you're going to find.

Challenge you. We truly have to ask ourselves why is it noteworthy?

And even change you. I literally feel like I'm a different person.

Yes. Do you feel that way? Ideas. Worth spreading. From Ted and NPR.

I'm Manouch Zomerodi. And do you know Jacob Collier?

If you're a music lover and spend any time on social media where he has millions of followers,

you probably do. Or maybe you're a fan of Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder or Bobby McFarron,

and have been wowed by Jacob's spin on those musical giants.

Or maybe you've never heard of Jacob Collier. In which case, I have the distinct honor of introducing you.

The 27-year-old is often called a prodigy and genius by his fellow musicians.

He's been nominated for nine Grammy Awards and one five for his inimitable blend of genres
