Solo Career – My Albums
All of Who You Are
This was my very first album release as a solo artist. I had moved from Canada to Germany at the time. The album sold 100,000 copies in Germany alone. Three singles were released from the album, “Pride”, “Money Maker” and “Shine Through”. “Pride” was particularly successful for me charting all over eastern and western Europe. “Shine Through” was co-written by myself and Howard Jones.
Time for Truth
My second album, Time for Truth, was released in 2005. In addition to my vocals, I also played both drums and keyboard throughout. The album encapsulates my awareness for what’s going on in the world both politically and environmentally. The album also reflects on my own spiritual evolution as an individual.

U-Catastrophe
My third album U-Catastrophe was first released in the United States in 2008. One of the tracks “Fast Forward the Future” also features Dave Kerzner, Kelly Nordstrom and Steve Hackett. It was a source of great pleasure as well as a huge honour to collaborate with my father (Phil Collins) on the track “The Big Bang”.
Becoming Human
My fourth solo album release “Becoming Human” explored new territory for me as an artist and my own personal evolution as a human being both spiritually and as an individual. The album was really born out of a series of tumultuous experiences in my life and my consequent efforts to become the person I was striving to be. There is a prevailing message of hope throughout. Musically, this album (released in 2020) combines strands of progressive and electronica.
