A Famous British Singer and 7-Time Grammy Winner Expresses Desire To Collaborate With BTS

 

BTS are not only globally famous idols with an enormous fanbase, but they are also recognized for their musical talent and the artistic value they bring as true artists. What sets BTS apart is that their music is not confined to the traditional framework of K-pop; instead, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre on a global scale, especially through collaborations with international artists and producers.

BTS can be considered the K-pop group with the most collaborations with world-renowned artists and producers. The list of people they have worked with is incredibly diverse, including Halsey, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Lauv, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and more. Many longtime industry veterans have also expressed hopes of collaborating with them.

Recently, Jacob Collier appears to have joined the growing list of artists eager to work with BTS, sending fans into a frenzy.

Born in 1994, Jacob Collier is not only a singer but also a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and arranger — someone capable of writing, arranging, producing, and performing his own music. Collier began gaining global attention in the early 2010s, and by 2017, his career made a major leap when he earned his first Grammy for his arrangements from his debut album.

As of 2025, Jacob Collier has won seven Grammy Awards. He is also the first British artist to win a Grammy for each of his first four albums — an exceptionally rare achievement. Collier is highly respected by critics and fellow musicians, with extensive experience collaborating with major artists and working on diverse global projects.

In his exclusive interview with ShowMO India, Jacob Collier was asked about the possibility of working with BTS in the future. He openly shared, “One of the things I love about BTS is how every member has different influences and fascinations.” This shows that he truly appreciates the musical diversity and individuality of each member — key elements that have shaped the group’s global appeal.

When asked whether he could imagine collaborating with Kim Taehyung (V) — whose natural love for jazz aligns with Jacob’s musical world — he didn’t hesitate: “That would be lovely. I’m so open to people who are open, and I think that group is amazing. I hope one day it can happen.” His words have sparked excitement among fans, who are now hoping for a potential collaboration between Jacob and V, or even the entire group.

Musically speaking, Jacob Collier and V — or BTS as a whole — share many similarities. All of them are artists capable of producing and performing their own music, and all place strong emphasis on artistic and musical integrity. While Collier is known for his complex harmonies and wide-ranging musical palette — spanning jazz, soul, R&B, pop, funk, classical, gospel, and electronic — BTS are no less versatile, having explored all these genres throughout their decade-long career.

Additionally, BTS have always been open to collaborating with international artists, and Jacob has essentially extended the invitation himself. Fans believe the likelihood of a future collaboration between them is high. They are currently buzzing with excitement over the remarks made by the seven-time Grammy-winning musician.
