Simon Collins was born on September 14, 1976 in Hammersmith, London. He is the son of the musician Phil Collins. Like his father he sings, plays the drums and plays the piano. Simon's musical style is a mix of Progressive, Rock and Electronica. His unique vocals are said to sound like a cross between Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel and something completely new all his own.

Paying homage to Genesis with his recent cover of their 1982 song "Keep it Dark", Simon Collins embraces his heritage and carries the torch. Having recently signed to top US indie label, Razor & Tie, his U.S. debut album titled "U-Catastrophe" received an August 19, 2008 iTunes-only release. It will be available in stores on September 30, 2008. Simon has followed his famous father into the pop charts by debuting his new single, "Unconditional" at the #30 spot on the Billboard AC chart.
