The Creative Collier
Five-time Grammy Award-winning music genius Jacob Collier, making his Santa Barbara debut, wowed the audience at Campbell Hall when USCB Arts & Lectures launched its 64th season.
London-born Collier, 29, creates mesmerizing soundscapes using layered vocal tracks and sophisticated editing techniques.
His multi-frame, multi-instrumental viral videos and impressive Grammy wins have earned him a devoted international following and an impressive roster of collaborators ranging from Coldplay to film composer Hans Zimmer.
The energetic and engaging concert was a suitable kickoff to the organization’s forthcoming season.
An Animated Role
British actor Orlando Bloom is set to join his singer fiancée Katy Perry in lending their voices to one of the world’s most beloved animated series.
Orlando, 46, will be featured as a brand-new character for the 20th anniversary wedding special of Peppa Pig.
He will team up with the former Dos Pueblos High student, 38, in a unique episode titled, “Peppa Pig Wedding Party Special,” playing Mr. Raccoon, a jeweler, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Meanwhile Katy will play Ms. Leopard, who helps the community prep for the nuptials. The tony twosome completed their work prior to the start of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
How sty-lish!
Paperwork Withdrawn
Meghan Markle has dumped her dreams of trademarking her podcast Archetypes after officially withdrawing her bid to protect the name.
Her multimillion-dollar Spotify deal was axed last June after it was announced the Archetypes podcast would not be renewed for a second season.
The move was officially said to have been a “mutual” decision between the streaming giant and Archewell Studio, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s company.
However, applications lodged with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revealed Archewell “revived” its trademark bid for the Archetypes podcast title even after the Spotify deal had been dropped.
But the application has now been withdrawn following an unsuccessful 17-month battle to have the title protected.
