Never have I ever been more happy that my name is Georgia

[MississippiDave]

The majority of us can't even comprehend these intricate harmonies in our heads, but we can sure feel them in our hearts!  Stunningly beautiful work!

[matthieusloutchansky]

How is it possible to be so good at so many instruments, sing like that, make some nice sound production and video edit? i think this guy never sleep

[jaymusic]

You MUST be a genius. I've been a pianist-vocalist for 35 years, have played this tune hundreds of times, but I never hear anything like this before, Outrageously wonderful!!

[RTistic]

No reason this kid isn't getting more props...he's easily Top five most talented musicians/singers I've seen on YouTube

[georgenejansen]

this guy has a vocal range that won't QUIT!!! As an a cappella singer myself, I really appreciate what he does.

2:04 "I want to play a melodica solo, but there's something wrong!  We're not in B major!"  ... 2:08 "There we go!"

This arrangement is insane. Beautiful beyond my comprehension. I feel, I do litteraly feel, that it is beautiful, I dunno how and why. JC is the one I stop thinking, just start feeling it. And man, there is a lot to experience. Even 8 years later and a whole bunch of albums later, having seen him on stage, having heard a some of his interviews and lessons, this man is a real step ahead in music.

[dlbwoodbury]

It’s 2024, and I’m gobsmacked by this, he was so young and so deeply knowledgeable and versatile in his harmonies… Genius
❤❤😂😂

[twopoles]

As a native Georgian, my home state could not receive greater praise

[mistec]

I love that in the last 20% of your arrangements, you go completely insane and make what you did in the first 80% seem like child's play, even though everything so far was already so incredible that few people even understand it, but EVERYONE appreciates it.

[barrowmeoct]

As if the goosebump-inducing harmonies were not enough he then throws in that juicy keyboard solo.

[oscargill]

This man does not care about key and I am here for it.

[chadley_musings]

I don't even know what to say at this point. Jacob, not only are you an insanely gifted performer, improviser, and just all around phenom, you have one of the most incredible musical minds in the history of mankind. Your arrangements continue to leave me speechless and your knowledge and creativity harmonically and texturally, combined with your flawless execution are unmatched. This gave me chills, made my heart race, and that last chord almost brought a tear to my eye. Once again, beautiful job. Please keep gracing the world with your music. Thank you! P.S. If I had money, I would support the hell out of your Patreon. Good luck with that my friend!

YOUR MUSICAL SOUL IS INTERNATIONAL TREASURE--THANKS FOR SHARING! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IN THAT BEAUTIFUL ROOM OF YOURS

[steffen]

I wonder what it would sound like if a musician had 1) an incredible singing range 2) perfect pitch 3) elite understanding of music theory 4) total artistic freedom 5) zero inhibitions 6) amazing patience and love of his craft... A Wonder!

[evflorybarnes]

Your genius is so heartwarming. "Love, love, love that is the soul of genius."

[williamheinz]

It is amazing to me at the very end as he brings the harmony back to a comfortable place, how that in combination with the completely open way he looks at the camera forces you into an enriched state. For many of his harmonies he goes outside the western musical scale to produce notes that vary from the norm by micro-tones. In this way he creates harmonies that we never hear and this also enables him to transition between keys in a way that is easy on our ears and would otherwise be non-musical. He is particularly fascinated by the ways that these harmonies affect our emotions. All of this is only possible because of his ultra-perfect pitch, his fearless willingness to experiment and be creative and challenge the norms, and his incredible sensitivity, intellect and training. Furthermore, his age (24), his non-judgmental relationship to others, his ability to direct, compose, play any number of instruments well and be charismatic in front of an audience presents a package that challenges our understanding of what is possible for humans and for ourselves.

Never did I imagine that I would come back to this video and remember seeing you a while back! And now you got to play with Snarky... Although I'm starting to wonder wether or not THEY got to play with YOU hahah!

[jesperjee]

I don´t get how one has the time to become this good at so many intruments...there are only so many hours.
