Collins signs with Sony
"I am so thrilled and excited to join the Sony Music Nashville Family," Collins said. "From the second I met Randy (label head Randy Goodman) and the entire team at Sony, they've supported me and my vision for my songs wholeheartedly. I couldn't be more grateful for this new adventure with them or ask for a better team."
The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who is also signed to Warner Chappell Music, moved from her hometown of Lake City, Fla. to Nashville three years ago. A multifaceted artist (she even painted the background of her "Heavenly" cover art), Collins, 22, grew up listening to metal bands such as Guns N' Roses and Alice in Chains with her dad on her way to elementary school. Current musical influences are the Eagles, Stevie Nicks, Leonard Cohen and Willie Nelson.
Collins also has an acting background. She had a recurring role as Oprah Pearl on the CBS sitcom "The Class," which aired from 2006 to 2007. Collins has also provided the voice of Gisela in "Open Season 3" (2010).
