Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few
Twenty-five-year-old Isaiah Collier is a musical virtuoso in the truest sense of the phrase. He began playing saxophone at age 11, and his intuitive proficiency earned him attention early on. Ever since, he has been creating immersive dialogues both on stage and in the studio with his band The Chosen Few, establishing worldwide acclaim. He attaches great importance to dialogue and underlines this by saying that he never really hears himself on stage but hears the musicians who accompany him, listening to their stories. Collier released his fifth album since 2018, The Almighty, on Division 81 Records last April. The collection includes a duet with the living legend of the Chicago scene, Ari Brown, who has been his mentor for many years. Collier's compositions and lyrics focus on using music to communicate deeper principles that are part of every day, and he will bring this tremendous energy to the Babylon stage with his band The Chosen Few on October 2.
