Singer-songwriter, drummer, composer and producer are just a few of Phil Collins’ amazing career titles. Best known for his work as drummer and vocalist for the British rock group Genesis and as a solo artist, Phil Collins has created some of Popular Music’s greatest hits, including “In the Air Tonight,” “Against All Odds” and “Another Day In Paradise,” and such energetic hits as “Sussudio,” “You Can’t Hurry Love” and “Two Hearts.” He has written songs for the Disney films Tarzan and Brother Bear, with “You’ll Be In My Heart” from Tarzan winning a Golden Globe Award for Best Song Written For A Film.  The song went on to win both an Oscar and a GRAMMY.

Also a studio producer, Collins has worked with Adam Ant, Earth, Wind & Fire’s Phil Bailey, John Martyn and Eric Clapton - to name a few.  Notably, he was Robert Plant’s drummer of choice for his first two solo albums, and he played with the Led Zeppelin front man on his first solo tour.  In March 2010, Genesis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.  At the time of his award in 2010, Collins was adding the finishing touches to a new album for release in September of that year.

During his early career, Collins co-founded the jazz-fusion band Brand X, inspired by his love of jazz.  In recent years, he formed his own “Big Band,” with the first tour featuring Tony Bennett and Quincy Jones and the second with Oleta Adams and Gerald Albright as guests.  Collins also took on acting, starting with the roll of Artful Dodger in Oliver, as well as made cameos in the Beatles A Hard Day's Night and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  Since then he has made several appearances in various films ranging from Hook to The Who’s rock opera Tommy.
