Bio

Being raised in a family who had a long history of artists, it wasn't any surprise to find out Collin had an ample interest in the arts. It started with doing theater and choir at his local church. From there he continued in music by playing the violin for the next ten years, and being a vocal soloist, traveling the country through school. Along the way, he always had a passion for not only creating music, but moving to it. After being a principal dancer in a production of Hairspray, he started his professional Ballroom career with Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Brookfield. Collin is currently working toward his goal of being a Rising Star Rhythm Champion.
