Mr Collins
Its not really a band, its just me, abit odd and out of place really, I think the music is abit like that too.. kinda dark at times, kinda melodic, kinda mixed up, I like to say I'm sitting on a very small ledge that most don't wanna go near, but i'm weird like that.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well as "Mr. Collins" I've been making music for about a year or so, maybe abit more. Just started mixing one day and that one song became 2, and so on and so on, got about 5 albums of stuff done infact. Go me!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Well I do have my own "real" band, called The Midnight Sons, this thing is just a side project. So I guess "yes" and "no" fit here..
