Dennis Collins

Singer Dennis Collins was born in Detroit, Michigan, a city known for producing great singers. He has recently been called the next great voice to join the ranks of legendary male singers like, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Luther Vandross. His smooth, soulful, tenor voice goes to the hearts of everyone who hears him.

After attending his first Motown Review at age 5 with his family, Dennis says he knew he wanted to be a singer. “Our home was filled with all kinds of music.” From an early age, he was surrounded by the music of Motown, and pop greats like Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett, Roberta Flack, Judy Garland, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway and Sly & The Family Stone.

Dennis spent his formative years singing, listening and studying every singer he heard. Being equally talented singing Pop, R & B, Jazz and Classical music, Dennis began to feel that he needed to make a choice between the Classical and Pop worlds. It was on a trip to New York that his cousin, Krystal Davis, took him to a rehearsal for Luther Vandross that would help him make that decision. Luther then invited Dennis to sing on a recording session at Atlantic Studios, and his career as a professional studio singer began.

He soon caught the attention of one of his idols, Ms. Roberta Flack, who asked him to join her on her next World Tour as a featured vocalist, performing her duets. He has also recorded and performed with such artists as: Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Beyoncé, Billy Joel, Sting, Ralph MacDonald, Jimmy Buffet, Willie Nelson, Carly Simon, Patti LaBelle, Bette Midler, David Bowie, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill, Jewel, Nelly, Ja Rule, Clay Aiken, The Blue Man Group, Lauryn Hill, Moby, Angelique Kidjo, Al Jarreau, Serge Gainsbourg, Patti Austin, Donald Fagen and many others.

As a solo artist, Dennis has now stepped into the foreground. Great anticipation abounds!
