From child actor, to Prog Rock drummer to Adult Contemporary Radio Staple, The Lounge Artist of the Week is Phil Collins!
Phil first stepped behind a drum kit at the age of five, and never looked back. He also took actor training as a child, and appeared on London’s West End as The Artful Dodger, in a production of “Oliver!”. Phil’s real claim to fame came as he joined the band “Genesis” in 1970, eventually becoming the lead singer in 1975. A solo career divided his time in the 90’s as he released a series of solo albums.
A true, lifetime of performing. In fact, the picture (courtesy R. Howard) here shows Phil behind the kit as a teenager in 1965.
