Peter Collins
“Peter Collins started off by posting videos of himself covering songs on his social media accounts and people instantly fell in love with him, his voice, and his music. His soft, smooth, gentle but immensely soulful voice is comforting to any ear. He is a vocalist whose spirit is as gentle and captivating as his mesmerizing, sultry voice. And the control he has with his voice is impressive. He is truly a singer’s singer. Peter's sound is an eclectic mix of R&B, Soul, and Jazz with an inspirational foundation. He's inspired by the music and sounds of the past mixed with his creative fresh perspective. It is this binding together of the past with the present moving into the future. The way he sings, his goal is to provide the listener with a whole host of intimate emotions. Creating a mood for people is what he wants to do. Pulling inspiration from any and everywhere, Peter's journey as an independent artist has taken him all over the world meeting some incredible people.The music that he creates is totally organic and genuine, and it is all driven by his love and passion for music. Peter draws from all the genres not belonging to just one. He is inspirational; he is R&B, he is jazz; he is music from other cultures. Creating music is his genre. The internet and social media were buzzing after Peter released his debut album, "Love and Mind" - available on all digital outlets.”
