Phil Collins

Philip David Charles Collins (lahir 30 Januari 1951) adalah seorang penyanyi, drummer, penulis lagu, produser rekaman dan aktor Inggris. Dia adalah drummer dan kemudian menjadi penyanyi utama dari band rock Genesis dan memiliki karir solo yang sukses, mencapai tiga single nomor satu Inggris dan tujuh single nomor satu AS sebagai artis solo. Secara total, karyanya dengan Genesis, artis lain, dan solo menghasilkan lebih banyak single top-40 AS dibandingkan artis lain sepanjang tahun 1980an. Single tersuksesnya pada periode tersebut antara lain "In the Air Tonight", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Another Day in Paradise", "Two Hearts" dan "I Wish It Could Rain Down". Lahir dan besar di London Barat, Collins mulai bermain drum pada usia lima tahun. Pada periode yang sama ia bersekolah di sekolah drama, yang membantu mendapatkan berbagai peran sebagai aktor cilik. Peran utama pertamanya adalah Artful Dodger dalam produksi musikal Oliver! di West End. Sebagai aktor profesional berprestasi di awal masa remajanya, ia beralih untuk mengejar karir musik, menjadi drummer Genesis pada tahun 1970. Ia mengambil alih peran penyanyi utama pada tahun 1975 setelah kepergian Peter Gabriel. Selama paruh kedua tahun 1970-an, di antara album dan tur Genesis, Collins adalah drummer band jazz rock Brand X. Sambil terus tampil dan merekam dengan Genesis, Collins memulai karir solo yang sukses di tahun 1980-an, awalnya terinspirasi oleh kehancuran perkawinannya dan kecintaannya pada musik soul, merilis album Face Value (1981), Hello, I Must Be Going (1982), No Jacket Required (1985) dan ...But Serius (1989). Collins, dalam kata-kata AllMusic, menjadi "salah satu penyanyi pop dan kontemporer dewasa paling sukses di tahun 80-an dan seterusnya". Ia menjadi terkenal karena suara gated reverb drum yang khas di banyak rekamannya. Dia bermain drum pada single amal tahun 1984 "Do They Know It's Christmas?" dan, pada Juli 1985, dia menjadi satu-satunya artis yang tampil di kedua konser Live Aid tersebut. Dia melanjutkan karir aktingnya, tampil di Miami Vice dan kemudian membintangi film Buster (1988). Collins meninggalkan Genesis pada tahun 1996 untuk fokus pada pekerjaan solo; ini termasuk menulis lagu untuk film animasi Disney Tarzan (1999), di mana ia menulis dan membawakan lagu "Two Worlds", "Son of Man", "Strangers Like Me" dan "You'll Be in My Heart", yang terakhir membuatnya mendapatkan Academy Award untuk Lagu Asli Terbaik. Dia bergabung kembali dengan Genesis untuk Tur Turn It On Again mereka pada tahun 2007. Setelah pensiun selama lima tahun untuk fokus pada kehidupan keluarganya, Collins merilis memoarnya pada tahun 2016 dan memimpin Tur Belum Mati dari tahun 2017 hingga 2019.

Born and raised in West London, Collins began playing drums at the age of five. During the same period he attended drama school, which helped secure various roles as a child actor. His first major role was the Artful Dodger in the West End production of the musical Oliver!. As an accomplished professional actor by his early teens, he pivoted to pursue a music career, becoming the drummer for Genesis in 1970.

During the second half of the 1970s, in between Genesis albums and tours, Collins was the drummer of jazz rock band Brand X.

He became known for a distinctive gated reverb drum sound on many of his recordings. He played drums on the 1984 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and, in July 1985, he was the only artist to perform at both Live Aid concerts. He resumed his acting career, appearing in Miami Vice and subsequently starring in the film Buster (1988).
