The work of this Phoenix-born hip hop artist is teeming with joy, pain, hardship, celebration — an autobiography, to be sure, but also a blueprint for the life and spirituality of Everyman. Collins taps into the common experiences of his uncommon life for his otherworldly lyrics, and in doing so, becomes the kind of messenger that is too often missing in today’s musical landscape.

Collins' work is a microcosm of his life: both sobering and brash.
Born Kyle Collins, he grew up without a father, survived the early disappearance of his mother and later homelessness, then threw everything he had into hip hop. Listening to his work is an eye-opening existential journey — a road map to enlightenment.
“I make music for dreamers,” he says. “I make music for people who just know that there’s more, I make music for people who have visions, for people who believe in themselves but don’t necessarily know how to take action on that.”
Or maybe they don’t believe in themselves… yet. “Maybe they want to believe in themselves. Maybe they come to me, they come to my music to, to learn how to believe in themselves or to learn how to break away from the norm as much as they’ve wanted to their entire life,” he says. “I just provide that bridge for people to unplug from the Matrix.”

His first mix tape, Destroyer, was released in 2015 to critical acclaim from reputable sources such as (COMPLEX, HipHopDX, 2DopeBoys, HNHH, and more). The album spawned Collins’ first big landmark record “Light Work”, which made it to A list rotation at KKFR POWER 983 Phoenix. The album featured guest appearances from Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo of Gym Class Heroes, Jason DeVore of Authority Zero, Locksmith, Rittz, and Jarren Benton. His second, The Legend of the Phoenix, was released in 2016, and included the haunting standout track “Others,” featuring Willow Smith. The album also birthed the inspirational song “Possible” which was Collins second radio single to receive heavy spins at KKFR, Phoenix. Since then, his fan base has exploded — and includes devotees who don’t just enjoy his music, but who also consider him to be a sort of shaman.

Collins is on a journey to becoming one of the most inspirational and influential creators of our time. He knows it can be done, because that’s the central theme of his own story. It’s what makes this visionary, wordsmith, genius, alien and wizard more than just a man who moves to the beat of his own drum, but one who encourages the rest of us to get with the rhythm of believing in our infinite potential.

That, more than anything, is be what his music is all about.

“A true artist, he is a musical chameleon with songs that uplift the world, tear up clubs and can turn the lights down. He uses incredible narratives, prodigious poetry and a special creativity to turn out music cultivating a unique sound that appeals to the masses while speaking to your soul”
