Joey Collins

From the tender years of his childhood, Joey Collins was immersed in a rich tapestry of melodies, discovering solace and refuge in the world of music during his parents' separation. Since then, music has remained a constant companion, guiding him through the highs and lows of life. At the tender age of 8, he grasped his first instrument, and by 16, he was crafting his own songs.

Hailing from the vibrant city of Nottingham, England, Joey Collins is a multifaceted artist — a singer-songwriter and a producer with a genre-fluid sound, though often leaning in the direction of the alternative rock bracket. Collins weaves introspective thoughts and emotive soundscapes, combining powerful arrangements with strikingly personal lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners.

The vastness of Joey's musical artistry is reflected in his extensive catalogue, diverse and prolific, showcasing the depth of his creativity. His journey began with a first release in 2017, and from that moment, he dedicated himself to refining and honing his craft. This tireless pursuit of finding oneself culminated in the release of his debut album, 'Yin-Yang,' in March 2023. More than just a collection of songs, the LP became a cathartic release for Joey, as he confronted his mental health struggles through his music. 'Yin-Yang' delves into the dualities of life, illuminating the interconnectedness of light and darkness, hope and despair, love and loss, in an eloquent sea of emotions.

Showcasing continuous growth as a songwriter, he has received great support from BBC Introducing’s Dean Jackson, in which he has received ‘Track of the week’ multiple times, whilst Tom Robinson aired ‘Looked Upon A Shore’ on ‘BBC Radio 6 Music's Introducing Mixtape’. Collins also placed in the BBC Introducing top 25 “most played” chart out of the entire East Midlands music scene in 2020 and 2022. One of his standout singles, 'Feed Me Your Love,' surpassed all expectations. Its mix by the Guy Elderfield, known for his work with The Libertines and Jimmy Eat World, elevated the song to new heights. The track caught the ear of official Spotify curators, landing on the prestigious editorial playlists 'All New Rock' and 'Alt Rocked,' sharing space with music legends such as Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, and Hayley Williams.

Following his debut album, Collins has embarked on releasing new music, collaborating with renowned mix engineers including Sefi Carmel, known for his work with icons like David Bowie, Phil Collins, and Massive Attack, as well as Dan Konopka from the Grammy award-winning band OK Go.
