Biography
British musician, a drummer, singer, producer and actor. He entered the world of entertainment playing in "Humpty Dumpty" at the age of six, performed in stage play "Oliver" at 14, toured the U.K. promoting products and was an extra in the Beatle's "Hard Days Night." He joined the group Genesis in September 1970 and became the lead singer in May 1975 after Peter Gabriel left. Their hits included "In the Air Tonight," "Against All Odds" and "Another Day in Paradise." In January 1981, Collins signed a deal for a solo record.
On 5/05/1983, he and the other members of Genesis won the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award. In 1985, he won Best Male Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards and Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the Ivor Movello Awards. In 1986, he was the recipient of Best British Male Artist, Best British Album for Britain and Best Pop Vocal Performance and Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. His most recent achievement was an Oscar, 3/26/2000 for "Original Song" that he wrote-sang for the Disney movie, "Tarzan." Each year Collins was honored with some achievement award, performed at sold-old concerts, made guest appearances on movies and TV talk shows, did voice-overs for major film studios including Disney and wrote songs that were placed on the top 10.
He and his first wife separated in 1981. A second marriage produced a daughter, Lily Jane, 3/18/1989, joining half-siblings, Joely and Simon.
At 50, Collins and his third wife, 24-year-younger Swiss-born Orianne Cevey, 28, had their first child together. Nicholas Grev Austin was born 4/19/2001, Geneva, Switzerland, where his parents (who have been married since 7/24/1999) now live. "It is difficult to express just how happy Orianne and I are with the arrival of little Nicholas," said Collins, whose 1999 "You'll Be in My Heart" took the Academy Award for best song. His spokeswoman said that British rocker is currently working on a studio album and a new animated feature for Disney.
The British musician and his wife Orianne welcomed their son Mathew [sic] on December 1, 2004 in Geneva. They announced their separation on March 15, 2006 after six years of marriage.
